3.2 x 10^4 - 1.95 x 10^6
Please show work
3.2 x 10^4 - 1.95 x 10^6 can be written as:
= (3.2 x 10^4) - (1.95 x 10^6)
To subtract these numbers in scientific notation, we need to ensure that the exponents are the same. In this case, we need to multiply the first term by 100 to make the exponents equal.
= (3.2 x 10^4) - (1.95 x 10^6)
= (3.2 x 10^4) - (1.95 x 10^6) x (100/100)
= (3.2 x 10^4) - (1.95 x 10^8) / 100
Now we can subtract the numbers:
= (3.2 - 1.95 x 10^8) / 100
The result will still be in scientific notation since the exponent is greater than or equal to 1.
