Understanding Scientific Notation Exponentiation

Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too big or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. It has the form \(a \times 10{b}\), where \(a\) is the coefficient and \(b\) is the exponent.

When you raise a number in scientific notation to a power, you are applying the exponent to both the coefficient and the power of 10. For a number \((a \times 10{b})\) raised to the power \(c\), the result is \((a^c \times 10{b \times c})\).

This calculator simplifies this process, allowing you to input the coefficient, exponent, and power to quickly find the result. It's useful in various fields like physics, engineering, and astronomy where dealing with very large or small numbers is common.
