Scientific Notation and Exponents

The video tutorial begins with a recap of the previous lecture, covering questions on exponents and scientific notation. The teacher then introduces the third question, which involves simplifying expressions by converting them into scientific notation. Detailed examples are provided to demonstrate the process of converting numbers into scientific notation, including handling decimals and zeros. The lecture concludes with a homework assignment, asking students to practice converting numbers into scientific notation and arranging them in increasing order.
