Be careful not to include the leading 0 in your count. We move the decimal point 13 places to the right, so the exponent of 10 is 13. The exponent is negative because we moved the decimal point to the right. This is what we should expect for a small number.
Scientific notation
A number is written in
scientific notation if it is written in the form
where
and
is an integer.
Converting standard notation to scientific notation
Write each number in scientific notation.
Distance to Andromeda Galaxy from Earth: 24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 m
Diameter of Andromeda Galaxy: 1,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 m
Number of stars in Andromeda Galaxy: 1,000,000,000,000
Diameter of electron: 0.00000000000094 m
Probability of being struck by lightning in any single year: 0.00000143
To convert a number in
scientific notation to standard notation, simply reverse the process. Move the decimal
places to the right if
is positive or
places to the left if
is negative and add zeros as needed. Remember, if
is positive, the value of the number is greater than 1, and if
is negative, the value of the number is less than one.
Converting scientific notation to standard notation
Convert each number in scientific notation to standard notation.
Scientific notation, used with the rules of exponents, makes calculating with large or small numbers much easier than doing so using standard notation. For example, suppose we are asked to calculate the number of atoms in 1 L of water. Each water molecule contains 3 atoms (2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen). The average drop of water contains around
molecules of water and 1 L of water holds about
average drops. Therefore, there are approximately
atoms in 1 L of water. We simply multiply the decimal terms and add the exponents. Imagine having to perform the calculation without using scientific notation!

I'm interested in biological psychology and cognitive psychology
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
