Operations with Scientific Notation

The video tutorial covers operations with scientific notation, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It explains how to use a calculator's EE button for scientific notation and demonstrates the properties of exponents. The tutorial provides methods for performing these operations and includes example problems for practice.

What button on a calculator is used for entering powers of ten in scientific notation?

• EXP button

• LOG button

• EE button

• SCI button

When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, what should you do with the exponents?

• Add them

• Multiply them

• Divide them

• Subtract them

If a number in scientific notation is over 9.9, what should you do to correct it?

• Move the decimal left and decrease the exponent

• Move the decimal right and decrease the exponent

• Move the decimal left and increase the exponent

• Move the decimal right and increase the exponent

What is the correct scientific notation for a number after adjusting 32 times 10 to the 10th to fit the notation standards?

• 3.2 times 10 to the 11th

• 320 times 10 to the 9th

• 32 times 10 to the 10th

• 0.32 times 10 to the 12th

How do you handle negative exponents when dividing in scientific notation?

• Subtract the exponents

• Convert the negative exponent to a positive

In the method of writing numbers in standard notation for addition, what do you do after adding the numbers?

• Convert back to scientific notation

• Round the result

• Multiply by the base of ten

• Subtract the smallest number

What is the result of subtracting 4.3 times 10 to the third minus 0.3 times 10 to the third?

• 4 times 10 to the third

• 3.0 times 10 to the third

• 4.0 times 10 to the second

• 4 times 10 to the fourth

When adjusting numbers for addition in scientific notation, what happens if you move the decimal to the left?

• The base number increases

• The exponent decreases

• The exponent increases

• The base number decreases

What should you do if the speed is asked in a problem involving distance and time?
