Review of Scientific Notation
Scientific notation provides a way to hold the zeroes that come after a whole number or before a fraction, so it is used to write very large or very small numbers. A number in scientific notation is written as the product of a number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10 and a power of 10. The power of 10 indicates how many places the decimal point was moved.
The line below shows the equivalent values of decimal notation (the way we write numbers usually, like "1,000 dollars") and scientific notation (1 x 103 dollars).

of the following numbers that are in scientific notation.

Perform the following operations in scientific notation. Refer to the introduction if you need help.
Section C: Multiplication (Remember that you just need to multiply the main numbers and add the exponents).
Model: (2 x 102) x (6 x 103) = 12 x 105 = 1.2 x 106
Remember that your answer should be expressed in two parts, as
in the model above. The first part should be a number less than
10 (eg: 1.2) and the second part should be a power of 10 (eg: 106). If the first part is a number greater than ten, you will
have to convert the first part. In the above example, you would convert your first answer (12 x 105) to the second answer, which has the first part less than ten (1.2 x 106). For extra
practice, convert your answer to decimal notation. In the above
example, the decimal answer would be 1,200,000.

Section D: Division (Remember that you just need to divide the main numbers and subtract the exponents).
Model:
(12 x 103)
----------- = (6 x 102)
(3- 2)
2 x (10
) = 2 x 101 = 20
.

Section E Addition The first step is to make sure the exponents are the same. We do this by changing the main number (making it bigger or smaller) so that the exponent can change (get bigger or smaller). Then we can add the main numbers and keep the exponents the same.
Model: (3.0 x 104) + (2 x 103) = (3 x 104) + (0.2 x 104) = 3.2 x 104
= 32,000
First express the problem with the exponents in the same form, then solve the problem.
final answer
21) (4.0 x 103) + (3 x 102) = _4__._3___x___1_0____3___=___4_,_3__0_0_____
22)
(9 x 102) + (1.00 x 104)
=
1.09 x 10_4 = 10,900

Section F Subtraction Just like addition, the first step is to make the exponents the same. Instead of adding the main numbers, they are subtracted.
Model: (3 x 104) - (2 x 103) = (30 x 103) - (2 x 103) = 28 x 103 = 2.8 x 104
final answer
