Raising a scientific number to the third power

The video tutorial explains how to handle exponents and scientific notation, focusing on multiplying exponents and adjusting decimal points to maintain correct scientific notation. It covers the rules of exponents, the structure of scientific notation, and the process of calculating powers. The tutorial concludes with final adjustments to ensure the result is in proper scientific notation.

What is the rule for handling exponents when a number is raised to another exponent?

• Add the exponents together

• Multiply the exponents

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide the exponents

Which of the following is a requirement for a number to be in scientific notation?

• The number must be greater than 10

• The number must be an integer

• The number must be between 1 and 10

• The number must be less than 1

Why is scientific notation used?

• To eliminate the use of decimals

• To simplify operations with very large or small numbers

• To convert numbers into fractions

• To make numbers look more complex

When adjusting a number in scientific notation, what should you do if the result is not between 1 and 10?

• Multiply the number by 10

• Divide the number by 10

• Move the decimal point to make it between 1 and 10

• Add more zeros to the number

In the final calculation, how many units should the decimal point be moved to adjust the number to scientific notation?

• 12 units

• 10 units

• 9 units

• 11 units
