Question

Subtract these scientific notation.
3.2x10^4 1.95x10^6

Answers

GPT 3.5
To subtract numbers in scientific notation, the exponents must be the same. Therefore, we need to convert one of the numbers so that the exponent matches. Let's convert 3.2x10^4 to scientific notation with an exponent of 6:

3.2x10^4 = 3.2x10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2x10^6

Now that the exponents match, we can subtract the numbers:

1.95x10^6 - 3.2x10^6 = (1.95 - 3.2)x10^6 = -1.25x10^6
Can u pls show work.

Apologies for not showing the work earlier. Here is the detailed calculation:

3.2 x 10^4 - 1.95 x 10^6

To subtract these numbers, we need to make sure the exponents are the same. Let's convert 3.2 x 10^4 to scientific notation with an exponent of 6:

3.2 x 10^4 = 3.2 x 10^4 x 10^2 = 3.2 x 10^6

Now, the exponents match, and we can subtract the numbers:

3.2 x 10^6 - 1.95 x 10^6 = (3.2 - 1.95) x 10^6 = 1.25 x 10^6

Therefore, the result of subtracting these numbers in scientific notation is 1.25 x 10^6.
