Converting scientific notation

The video tutorial explains how to convert scientific notation into regular numbers. It begins by introducing the concept of scientific notation, which is expressed as A * 10^N, where A is a number between 1 and 10, and N is an integer. The tutorial then demonstrates how to handle positive exponents by moving the decimal point to the right and negative exponents by moving it to the left. A practical example is provided to illustrate the conversion process, concluding with a final example of converting 9.67 * 10^3 to 9670.

What is the general form of scientific notation?

• A * 10^N, where A is any number and N is a fraction

• A * 10^N, where A is between 1 and 10, and N is an integer

• A * 10^N, where A is a fraction and N is a positive integer

• A * 10^N, where A is any number and N is a negative integer

When converting a number in scientific notation with a positive exponent to a regular number, what happens to the decimal point?

• It moves to the left

• It stays in the same place

• It moves to the right

• It disappears

If you have 1.0 * 10^2, what is the regular number?

• 10

• 0.01

• 1000

• 100

How do you convert a number in scientific notation with a negative exponent to a regular number?

• Move the decimal point to the right

• Move the decimal point to the left

• Multiply by 10

• Add zeros to the end

What is the regular number for 1.0 * 10^-2?

• 0.1

• 0.01

• 10

• 1
