To calculate the difference between these two numbers, we subtract the second number from the first number:
(1.2756x10^4) - (6.792x10^3)
When subtracting numbers in scientific notation, we need to make sure that the exponents are the same. In this case, we can rewrite the second number as (6.792x10^3) = (0.6792x10^4) by moving the decimal point one place to the right.
Now we can perform the subtraction:
(1.2756x10^4) - (0.6792x10^4) = (1.2756 - 0.6792)x10^4
Calculating the subtraction, we get:
(0.5964)x10^4 = 5.964x10^3
Therefore, the difference is 5.964x10^3.
1.2756x10^4 - 6.792x10^3
