Go with the least amount of significant figures. 10n = 10 x 10 x x 10. How to calculate scientific notation using a ti 30xa: plug in decimal number. Ex: 1. 23: press the ee button (right above 7, plug in exponent. Ex: 10: press the multiplication button ( x , repeat steps 1 and 2. 2: press the enter button (equals sign button, bottom right corner) How to get into scientific notation: type the number you want to change into scientific notation. Ex: 2767500: press the 2nd key (top left corner, press the sci button (same button as 5, press the enter button.
