Going up a few dress sizes can be caused by so many things that it's unlikely your doctor will look at weight gain alone as a potential thyroid disorder symptom. However, weight gain is one of the top reasons women show up in Dr. Millerâs office for a thyroid checkup.
Exponential Notation. Exponential notation is a method in mathematics that allows the representation of numbers in shorter form and aids in mathematical calculations. For example, 1,000,000 can be written as 1 x 10 6.
Often numbers that result from calculation are not in standard exponential notation or often to add and subtract numbers you need to change the values of the exponents. In the example below the number 81.7 x 103 is not in standard exponential notation (with one digit to the left of the decimal). To convert this number to standard exponential notation we need to move the decimal point to the left and increase the exponent on 10 by 1 as shown.
