To compare the two values, we can look at their exponents:
- \(3.2 \times 10^4\) is equivalent to \(32,000\).
- \(3.2 \times 10^5\) is equivalent to \(320,000\).
Clearly, \(320,000\) is larger than \(32,000\).
Therefore, the larger value is:
**B \(3.2 \times 10^5\)**.
- \(3.2 \times 10^4\) is equivalent to \(32,000\).
- \(3.2 \times 10^5\) is equivalent to \(320,000\).
Clearly, \(320,000\) is larger than \(32,000\).
Therefore, the larger value is:
**B \(3.2 \times 10^5\)**.
