To prevent the transmission of MRSA, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers can do the following things: 1  Clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub before and after touching the patient or the patientâs environment.
Scientific notation (also referred to as scientific form, standard form or standard index form) is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It is commonly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers, in part because it can simplify certain arithmetic operations.
Make sure that the number in scientific notation is put into your calculator correctly. Read the directions for your particular calculator. For inexpensive scientific calculators: 1  Punch the number (the digit number) into your calculator. 2  Push the EE or EXP button. 3  Do NOT use the x (times) button!! 4  Enter the exponent number. 5  Use the +/- button to change its sign. 6  Voila! 7  Treat this number normally in all subsequent calculations.
