Finding product of two numbers when they are in scientific notation

The video tutorial explains how to multiply numbers in scientific notation. It begins by introducing the concept of multiplying numbers and exponents with a base of 10. An example problem is set up, involving the multiplication of numbers and the addition of exponents. The tutorial then demonstrates how to adjust the result to fit the standards of scientific notation, ensuring the number is between 1 and 10. The final answer is presented in the correct scientific notation format.

What is the first step in multiplying numbers with exponents in scientific notation?

• Divide the numbers

• Add the exponents

• Multiply the numbers

• Subtract the exponents

When multiplying exponents with the same base, what operation is performed on the exponents?

• Subtract the exponents

• Multiply the exponents

• Add the exponents

• Divide the exponents

What is the result of multiplying 27 by 2?

• 52

• 54

• 56

• 58

Why must the decimal point be adjusted in scientific notation?

• To simplify the calculation

• To make the number smaller

• To ensure the number is between 1 and 10

• To make the number larger

What is the final scientific notation of 54 times 10 to the negative 6th after adjustment?

• 5.4 times 10 to the negative 5th

• 54 times 10 to the negative 5th

• 5.4 times 10 to the negative 6th

• 54 times 10 to the negative 6th
