In the video lesson it was said that the number that equals "a" in the formula (a times 10 to the chosen power) cannot be more than 10, but in the book a = numbers greater than 10? I was just curious about that, thanks!

The problems in the book are written this way in order to have you write them correctly. They have them almost in scientific notation and they want you to finish writing them in scientific notation.


In order to do this, you'll need to move the decimal, but this will mean adjusting the power of ten as well in order to have the same number.

Sometimes it is easier to do this by writing the number in decimal form (the way you normally would), and then writing it in correct scientific notation.
