What is the scientific notation of 95?
Please give a simple explanation!
Thanks, sorry i keep posting this question!
The scientific numbers have to be written between 1 and 10 and by using base 10 with an exponent.
Hence you place the decimal between 9 and 5 = 9.5 * 10^1 or 9.5 * 10

No problem at all! I'm here to help.
Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers in a more compact form. It consists of two parts: the coefficient and the exponent. The coefficient is a number between 1 and 10 (including decimals), and the exponent represents the power of 10 by which the coefficient is multiplied.
To find the scientific notation of a number, you need to move the decimal point to the right or left so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of places you move the decimal point will be the exponent. If you move it to the left, the exponent will be positive, and if you move it to the right, the exponent will be negative.
For example, let's find the scientific notation of 95:
Start with the number 95.
Since there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, we don't need to move the decimal point.
The coefficient is 9.5 (moving the decimal point one place to the left).
The exponent is 1 (since we didn't move the decimal point).
Therefore, the scientific notation of 95 is 9.5 x 10^1.
