In this problem, you will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers written in scientific notation. For each part use the following numbers: 3.2x10^4 1.95x10^6 8.03x10^-8 2.56x10^-2 4.82x10^12. Choose two scientific numbers from the list and subtract them. Show your work

Answer 1

Let's choose 1.95x10^6 and 4.82x10^12 to subtract.

1.95x10^6 - 4.82x10^12

First, we need to standardize the numbers so that they have the same exponent. We can rewrite 1.95x10^6 as 0.000195x10^12 to have the same exponent as 4.82x10^12.

Now we can subtract the two numbers:

4.82x10^12 - 0.000195x10^12 = 4.819805x10^12

Therefore, 1.95x10^6 - 4.82x10^12 = 4.819805x10^12.
