Exp3 Scientific Notation (4 operations)
Contribué par: Cason
To add or subtract numbers in scientific notation,the bases MUST match.  
If the bases already match, just add or subtract the coefficients to the same base.
3 x 103 + 4 x 103 = (3 + 4) x 103 = 7 x 103
Bases - they must match in addition or subtraction.
Adjust 2 x 103 to .2 x 104.  Remember:  When one partof the number is adjusted to make the number larger(as in 103 becoming 104, the other part must be adjusted the other way.  Add coefficients of the samebase.0.2 x 104 + 4 x 104 =           x 104
If adding or subtracting & the bases do not match, first adjust the bases of all numbers to match the larger base.  This lines up the decimals.
2 x 103 + 4 x 104
bases
Make sure the final answer is in scientific notation.
0.3 x 104 + 2 x 104 = 2.3 x 104
In order to add 3 x 103 + 2 x 104, adjust3 x 103 by making the exponent larger and the 3 smaller by one place value each.
3 x 103 becomes 0.3 x 10
+0.34 x 105

7 x 106 - 5.2 x 104

7 x 106 + 5.2 x 104

Commutative Property allows us to move numbers aroundwhen a problem is all multiplication.  So change as follows:(2 x 4) • 10(3+4).  Make sure the final answer is inscientific notation.

If multiplying, decimals DO NOT need to line up;therefore, multiply coefficients.  Remember whenmultiplying like based exponents, add the exponents.
2 x 103 • 4 x 104 =            x 107
2 x 103 • 4 x 104
2 x 10  • 4 x 10   =

Change as follows:(4 ÷ 2) • 10(7-4).  Make sure the final answer is inscientific notation.

If dividing, decimals DO NOT need to line up;therefore, divide coefficients.  Remember whendividing like based exponents, subtract the exponents.
4 x 107 ÷ 2 x 104 =            x 103
4 x 107 ÷  2 x 104
Change as follows:(2 ÷ 4) • 10(7-4)
