Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology

(G) Identify functions using sets of ordered pairs, tables, mappings, and graphs

8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
