a)
Interpretation : The given problem is to be solved and to be expressed in scientific notation and to correct the number of significant figures.
Concept Introduction : A given number is stated as the product of two numbers in scientific notation: a coefficient and 10 raised to a power.
a)
Answer to Problem 17LC
The answer to the problem in scientific notation is
Explanation of Solution
Every number bigger than one and less than 10 is a coefficient.
There is an integer exponent.
In the case of an addition, the exponents must be the same otherwise they should be aligned and then the addition is carried out.
The given problem is
Since the exponents are the same, the coefficients are added.

b)
Answer to Problem 17LC
The answer to the problem in scientific notation is
Explanation of Solution
Every number bigger than one and less than 10 is a coefficient.
There is an integer exponent.
The division sign is used between the numerator and denominator, so the coefficients are divided while the exponents are subtracted.
The given problem is
The coefficients are divided and the exponents are subtracted.

Explanation of Solution
A given number is stated as the product of two numbers in scientific notation: a coefficient and 10 raised to a power.
Every number bigger than one and less than 10 is a coefficient.
There is an integer exponent.
The multiplication sign is used in the denominator so the coefficients are multiplied while the exponents are added up.
The given problem is
Since there are only exponents in multiplication, these exponents are added up as it has the same base value.

Every number bigger than one and less than 10 is a coefficient.
There is an integer exponent.
In the case of subtraction, the exponents must be the same otherwise they should be aligned, and then the subtraction is carried out.
The given problem is
The exponents are first aligned to the same power.
Subtract the coefficients.
