Mathematical notation: 2.00 E + 00 and 1.00 E + 01 ?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the representation of numbers in scientific notation, specifically focusing on the format "2.00 E + 00" and "1.00 E + 01". It establishes that "2.00 E + 00" translates to 2.00 x 10^0, equating to 2.00, while "1.00 E + 01" translates to 1.00 x 10^1, equating to 10.0. The notation is defined as an abbreviated form of scientific notation, where the mantissa is the number before the 'E' and the exponent indicates the power of ten.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of scientific notation
  • Familiarity with mantissa and exponent concepts
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical operations involving powers of ten
  • Ability to interpret numerical formats in programming or scientific contexts
NEXT STEPS

Hey. What do these numbers represent in standard form?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You mean in this form...

2.00,10.0

?
 
2.00e+00 = 2.00x1000

1.00e+01 = 1.00x1001

3.00e-02 = 3.00x10-02

And so on.
 
This notation is an abbreviated form of scientific notation. The number that appears before E is the mantissa, and is normally in the range 1.0 through 9.999... The number after E is the exponent on 10 (E stands for exponent, where it is implied that it is the exponent on 10).
