Learn how to determine the product of scientific notation

The video tutorial explains how to multiply numbers in scientific notation by multiplying the coefficients and adding the exponents. It provides a detailed example of multiplying two numbers manually, emphasizing the importance of adjusting the result to ensure the coefficient is between 1 and 10. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on finalizing the answer and understanding the properties of exponents.

What is the first step when multiplying two numbers in scientific notation?

• Multiply the coefficients

• Add the coefficients

• Subtract the exponents

• Divide the exponents

When multiplying numbers in scientific notation, what do you do with the exponents?

• Multiply them

• Add them

• Subtract them

• Divide them

In the example provided, what is the product of 4.8 and 2.1?

• 10.08

• 11.08

• 9.08

• 8.08

Why must the coefficient in scientific notation be adjusted to be between 1 and 10?

• To make it easier to read

• To meet the standard form of scientific notation

• To ensure accuracy

• To simplify calculations

After adjusting the coefficient to 1.08, what happens to the exponent?

• It increases by 1

• It doubles

• It remains the same

• It decreases by 1
