Students will apply scientific notation to simplify calculations and interpret data.
HSN-RN.A.1: Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents.
HSN-RN.A.2: Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
HSN-Q.A.3: Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
