(1.95 X 10^6) - (3.2 X 10^4)
To subtract these decimal numbers in scientific notation, we need to have the same exponent value.
Given:
(1.95 × 10^6) - (3.2 × 10^4)
First, we need to convert the second number to have the same exponent as the first number:
3.2 × 10^4 can be written as 0.32 × 10^5 (move the decimal point one place to the left)
So, now we have:
(1.95 × 10^6) - (0.32 × 10^5)
Next, we can subtract the numbers:
1.95 - 0.32 = 1.63
Finally, keep the 10^6 exponent value:
1.63 × 10^6
Therefore, (1.95 × 10^6) - (3.2 × 10^4) equals 1.63 × 10^6.
wrong. (1.95 X 10^6) - (3.2 X 10^4) correctly. take your time if needed and make sure exponents are equal.
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's subtract the numbers correctly by making the exponents equal:
(1.95 × 10^6) - (3.2 × 10^4)
To make the exponents equal, we can rewrite the second number as 0.032 × 10^6 (move the decimal point two places to the right).
Now we have:
(1.95 × 10^6) - (0.032 × 10^6)
Since the exponents are equal, we can subtract the numbers:
1.95 - 0.032 = 1.918
Finally, keep the 10^6 exponent value:
1.918 × 10^6
Therefore, (1.95 × 10^6) - (3.2 × 10^4) equals 1.918 × 10^6.
To solve the expression (1.95 X 10^6) - (3.2 X 10^4), you need to perform subtraction with scientific notation. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Start by multiplying the numbers in front of the powers of 10.
(1.95) - (3.2)
Step 2: Perform the subtraction.
1.95 - 3.2 = -1.25
Step 3: Determine the power of 10 based on the larger exponent. Subtract the smaller exponent from the larger exponent.
10^6 - 10^4
Step 4: Write the final result in scientific notation.
-1.25 X 10^(6-4) = -1.25 X 10^2
Therefore, the result of (1.95 X 10^6) - (3.2 X 10^4) is -1.25 X 10^2.
