Back

A method of expressing numbers as a product of a coefficient and a power of 10, e.g., 3.0 x 10^4.

Front

How do you add numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Align the powers of 10, add the coefficients, and adjust the result if necessary.

Front

What is the rule for multiplying numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of the powers of 10.

Front

What is the rule for dividing numbers in scientific notation?

Back

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents of the powers of 10.
