Multiplying Numbers in Scientific Notation (Example)

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate an expression and convert it into scientific notation. It begins by regrouping numbers and powers of 10, then multiplies the numbers and adds the exponents. The result is adjusted to fit the scientific notation format by moving the decimal point and modifying the exponent accordingly.

What is the first step in evaluating an expression for scientific notation?

• Add all exponents

• Regroup numbers and powers of 10

• Multiply all numbers together

• Convert to decimal form

After regrouping, what operation is performed on the numbers?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

• Multiplication

Why is the intermediate result not in scientific notation?

• The exponent is too high

• The base is not 10

• The coefficient is not between 1 and 10

• The numbers are not multiplied

How do you adjust the coefficient to fit scientific notation?

• Change the base

• Add more numbers

• Move the decimal point to the left

• Move the decimal point to the right

What happens to the exponent when the decimal point is moved to the left?

• It doubles

• It increases by 1

• It remains the same

• It decreases by 1
