EXPONENTS AND POWERS -1 Numbers in Expanded form using exponents:

CHAPTER -12

Very large numbers can be expressed more conveniently using positive


exponents,
Example: Mass of earth is 5,970,000,000,000, 000, 000, 000, 000 kg can be Try These: (Page 194 )
expressed as 5.97 × 1024 kg.
We read 1024 as 10 raised to the power 24
