(5 points)
Step 1: _______ to get the exponents the same for adding in Scientific Notation. (Answer Choices: add 2 to the exponent 5, subtract 2 from the exponent 5, add the exponents together, subtract the exponents)
Step 2: _______ to change the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed.
Step 3: _______ the coefficients.
Step 4: _______ the exponents to simplify.
Step 5: _______ is the final answer in Scientific Notation.
Step 1: Add the exponents together to get the exponents the same for adding in Scientific Notation.
Step 2: Multiply the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed.
Step 3: Add the coefficients.
Step 4: Keep the exponent the same to simplify.
Step 5: 4.65 x 10^7 is the final answer in Scientific Notation.
On step two what do you change?
On step two, you multiply the coefficient on the term that the exponent was changed.
So would you ,
Change 3.71 to 371
Change 4.65 to 0.045
Change 4.65 to 0.0465
Change 3.71 to 0.0371
