After fighting it for over 40 minutes and getting only a glimpse of the massive beast rolling in the water next to the boat the hook snapped free. Spincast reels are not friendly when it comes to having to rapidly increase and/or decrease drag. Thus, the solution to the problem was found in the hands of Jeremy Wade. After paying careful attention to the tackle on the show I have identified the lever drag reels.
To see an exponent thatâs negative, write .00000031 in scientific notation. 1  Move the decimal place to the right to create a new number from 1 up to 10. 2  Determine the exponent, which is the number of times you moved the decimal. 3  Put the number in the correct form for scientific notation.
Cross out the original number's decimal point. This is the first step to beginning to convert the number into scientific notation. If you're working with the number 0.00004205, just write an x over the decimal point. 3. Add a new decimal point to the number so that there's only one non-zero digit in front of it. In this case, the first non-zero number is 4, so place the decimal point after the 4 so that the new number reads 000004.205. This works for large numbers, too.
