Writing a number in scientific notation

The video tutorial explains how to convert a number into scientific notation. It begins with an introduction to the problem of converting 71 * 10^-1 into scientific notation. The instructor explains the format of scientific notation, where a number is expressed as A * 10^F, with A between 1 and 10. The tutorial then demonstrates the conversion process, moving the decimal point to achieve the correct format. The instructor provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved, including adjusting the exponent to maintain the value of the number. The video concludes with the final conversion and a summary of the process.
