4. NGSSS MA.8.A.6.1 Use exponents and scientific notation to write large and small numbers and vice versa and to solve problems. MA.8.A.6.4 Perform operations on real numbers (including integer exponents , radicals, percents, scientific notation , absolute value, rational numbers, and irrational numbers ) using multistep and real world problems.

5. Example 1 Multiplication and Division with Scientific Notation Evaluate (1.1 10 3 )(2.5 10 9 ). Express the result in scientific notation. (1.1 10 3 )(2.5 10 9 ) = (1.1 2.5 )(10 3 10 9 ) Commutative and Associative Properties = (2.75)(10 3 10 9 ) Multiply 1.1 by 2.5. = 2.75 10 3 + 9 Product of Powers = 2.75 10 6 Add the exponents. Answer: 2.75 10 6

9. Example 3 PLANETS The largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter with a diameter of about 1.43 10 5 kilometers. The smallest planet in our solar system is Mercury with a diameter of about 4.9 10 3 kilometers. About how many times greater is the diameter of Jupiter than the diameter of Mercury?

10. Example 3 Answer: The diameter of Jupiter is about 2.9 10 1 or 29 times greater than the diameter of Mercury. 0.29 10 2 Simplify. 2.9 10 1 Write 0.29 10 2 in scientific notation. Associative Property

11. Example 3 CYP A. 1.47 10 1 times greater B. 1.47 10 5 times greater C. 6.1 10 4 times greater D. 6.1 10 5 times greater ASTRONOMY The mass of Jupiter is about 1.90 10 27 kilometers. The mass of Pluto is about 1.29 10 22 kilometers. About how many times greater is the mass of Jupiter than the mass of Pluto?

12. Example 4 Evaluate (2.85 10 7 ) + (1.61 10 9 ). Express the result in scientific notation. Addition and Subtraction with Scientific Notation (2.85 10 7 ) + (1.61 10 9 ) = (2.85 10 7 ) + (161 10 7 ) Write 1.61 10 9 as 161 10 7 . = (2.85 + 161) 10 7 Distributive Property = 163.85 10 7 Add 0.0285 and 1.61. = 1.6385 10 9 Write 163.85 10 7 in scientific notation. Answer: 1.6385 10 9

13. Example 4 CYP A. 8.9 10 11 B. 5.498 10 5 C. 54.98 10 5 D. 5.498 10 6 Evaluate (3.78 10 5 ) + (5.12 10 6 ). Express the result in scientific notation.

14. Example 5 Addition and Subtraction with Scientific Notation Evaluate (8.23 10 6 ) (6.91 10 5 ). Express the result in scientific notation. (8.23 10 6 ) (6.91 10 5 ) = (82.3 10 5 ) (6.91 10 5 ) Write 8.23 10 6 as 82.3 10 5 . = (82.3 6.91) 10 5 Distributive Property = 75.39 10 5 Subtract 6.91 from 82.3. = 7.539 10 6 Write 75.39 10 5 in scientific notation. Answer: 7.539 10 6
