To subtract \(9 \times 10^{11}\) from \(5 \times 10^{12}\), we first need to express both numbers in terms of the same power of ten.
We can rewrite \(5 \times 10^{12}\) as:
\[
5 \times 10^{12} = 5 \times 10^{12}
\]
And \(9 \times 10^{11}\) as:
\[
9 \times 10^{11} = 0.9 \times 10^{12}
\]
Now we can perform the subtraction:
\[
5 \times 10^{12} - 0.9 \times 10^{12} = (5 - 0.9) \times 10^{12} = 4.1 \times 10^{12}
\]
So,
\[
(5 \times 10^{12}) - (9 \times 10^{11}) = 4.1 \times 10^{12}
\]
We can rewrite \(5 \times 10^{12}\) as:
\[
5 \times 10^{12} = 5 \times 10^{12}
\]
And \(9 \times 10^{11}\) as:
\[
9 \times 10^{11} = 0.9 \times 10^{12}
\]
Now we can perform the subtraction:
\[
5 \times 10^{12} - 0.9 \times 10^{12} = (5 - 0.9) \times 10^{12} = 4.1 \times 10^{12}
\]
So,
\[
(5 \times 10^{12}) - (9 \times 10^{11}) = 4.1 \times 10^{12}
\]
