I miss problem. You will practice adding subtracting multiplying and dividing numbers written in scientific notation for each part use the following numbers. The first one is 3.2×10 power of four second one is 1.95×10 power of six the third one, 8.03×10 negative Power of eight and the next one is 2.56×10 power of -2 and the last one is 4.82×10 power of 12 choose two of the scientific numbers from the list and add them show your work

1 answer

Let's choose \( 3.2 \times 10^4 \) and \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) for addition.

Step 1: Rewrite the numbers with the same power of ten

Since \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) has a higher exponent, we can convert \( 3.2 \times 10^4 \) to have the same exponent of \( 10^6 \).

To convert \( 3.2 \times 10^4 \): \[ 3.2 \times 10^4 = 3.2 \times 10^4 \times \frac{10^2}{10^2} = 3.2 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-2} = 0.032 \times 10^6 \]

Step 2: Add the numbers

Now we can add the two numbers: \[ 0.032 \times 10^6 + 1.95 \times 10^6 = (0.032 + 1.95) \times 10^6 = 1.982 \times 10^6 \]

Step 3: Result

The result of adding \( 3.2 \times 10^4 \) and \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) is: \[ 1.982 \times 10^6 \]
