Scientific Notation Practice

Scientific Notation (exponential notation) refers to writing decimal numbers as a number multiplied by a power of 10. Now this is done in a certain way. What this boils down to is moving a decimal point, keeping track of how many places you moved it, and increasing or decreasing the power of 10 by that number of decimal...(cont.

Equations of the Line

Linear equations have variables whose highest power is 1. Also the variables are not multiplied together. We say there is a linear relationship between the variables in these equations. This linear relationship implies that as one variable changes the other changes with a constant rate of change....(cont. Linear Equations)
