(1.52 x 10^0) - (1 x 10^0) step by step

Answer 1

To subtract these numbers, we need to ensure that their exponents are the same.

Step 1: Rewrite both numbers with the same exponent.
(1.52 x 10^0) becomes (1.52 x 10^0)
(1 x 10^0) becomes (1.00 x 10^0)

Step 2: Perform the subtraction of the mantissas.
(1.52 - 1.00) = 0.52

Step 3: Keep the exponent unchanged.
The exponent remains the same as 10^0.

Therefore, (1.52 x 10^0) - (1 x 10^0) = 0.52 x 10^0

Since 10^0 equals 1, the final answer is 0.52.

Answer 2

can you make the final answer scientific notation

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Let's rewrite the final answer in scientific notation:

0.52 x 10^0 can be simplified further.

Since anything multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 0 remains the same, we have:

0.52 x 10^0 = 0.52

So, the final answer in scientific notation is simply 0.52.
