To evaluate these numbers in scientific notation, we can add the digits first and then adjust the power of 10.
5.87 × 10^(-3) + 4.82 × 10^(-3)
Adding the numbers in front of the powers of 10:
5.87 + 4.82 = 10.69
Since the sum is greater than 10, we need to adjust the sum and the power of 10:
10.69 × 10^(-3) = 1.069 × 10^(-2)
5.87 × 10^(-3) + 4.82 × 10^(-3)
Adding the numbers in front of the powers of 10:
5.87 + 4.82 = 10.69
Since the sum is greater than 10, we need to adjust the sum and the power of 10:
10.69 × 10^(-3) = 1.069 × 10^(-2)
