To subtract these two numbers in scientific notation, we need to ensure that both numbers have the same exponent.
Let's rewrite both numbers with the same exponent:
4.3 × 10^14 - 7.5 × 10^14 = (4.3 - 7.5) × 10^14
Now, subtract the coefficients:
4.3 - 7.5 = -3.2
Therefore, the result is -3.2 × 10^14.
4.3x10^14 - 7.5x10^14
