Let's choose the numbers 3.2 x 10^4 and 4.82 x 10^12.
To add these numbers, we need to make sure they have the same exponent. In this case, we can convert 3.2 x 10^4 to scientific notation with an exponent of 12:
3.2 x 10^4 = 3.2 x 10^4 x 10^8 = (3.2 x 10^4) x (10^8) = 3.2 x 10^(4+8) = 3.2 x 10^12
Now we can add the numbers:
3.2 x 10^12 + 4.82 x 10^12 = (3.2 + 4.82) x 10^12 = 8.02 x 10^12
Therefore, the sum of 3.2 x 10^4 and 4.82 x 10^12 is 8.02 x 10^12.
