When adding and subtracting numbers in Scientific Notation, the powers of the base 10 must be the same exponent so that you have "like terms".

When multiplying and dividing numbers in Scientific Notation, you do not have to have the same power of the base 10. You can simply follow the exponent rules for multiplying and dividing with the like base 10

options:

True, coefficients follow the operations and exponents follow exponent rules when you are multiplying or dividing.
True, coefficients follow the operations and exponents follow exponent rules when you are multiplying or dividing.

False, you must always have the same exponent on the base 10 for all operations in Scientific Notation.
False, you must always have the same exponent on the base 10 for all operations in Scientific Notation.

True, when multiplying and dividing you can just multiply the coefficients and multiply the exponents.
True, when multiplying and dividing you can just multiply the coefficients and multiply the exponents.

False, you cannot multiply or divide numbers in Scientific notation without having the same coefficients.

Answer 1

The correct statements related to operations in Scientific Notation are:

True, coefficients follow the operations and exponents follow exponent rules when you are multiplying or dividing.

True, when multiplying and dividing you can just multiply the coefficients and multiply the exponents.

In scientific notation, when you multiply numbers, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. When dividing, you divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

For addition and subtraction, you must convert the numbers so that they have the same exponent before adding or subtracting the coefficients.

Thus, the statements regarding multiplication and division are true.
