To add these two numbers, we need to first convert them to the same power of 10. Let's convert both numbers to the power of 10^6, as it is the larger power.

3.2x10^4 = 3.2x10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2x10^6
1.95x10^6 = 1.95x10^6

Now that both numbers are in the same power of 10^6, we can directly add them:

3.2x10^6 + 1.95x10^6 = (3.2 + 1.95)x10^6
= 5.15x10^6

Therefore, when adding 3.2x10^4 and 1.95x10^6, the sum is 5.15x10^6.

Answer 2

To add these two scientific numbers, we need to ensure that their exponents are the same. Let's rewrite them without scientific notation:

3.2x10^4 = 32,000
1.95x10^6 = 1,950,000

Now we can add these two numbers together:

32,000 + 1,950,000 = 1,982,000

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To add these two scientific numbers, we need to make sure their exponents are the same. In this case, both numbers are written in scientific notation, so it makes it easier.

The first number, 3.2x10^4, can be written as 32,000 (by moving the decimal point four places to the right, since the exponent is positive).

The second number, 1.95x10^6, can be written as 1,950,000 (by moving the decimal point six places to the right).

Now, we can add the two numbers:
32,000 + 1,950,000 = 1,982,000

So, 3.2x10^4 + 1.95x10^6 = 1.982x10^6
