Give me an example of add and subtract with scientific notation then show ur work

Sure! Let's go through examples of both addition and subtraction using scientific notation.

Example 1: Addition

Problem: \( 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 \)

Step 1: Adjust to the same power of 10.

To add these two numbers, we should express them with the same exponent. The second number, \( 3.1 \times 10^2 \), can be rewritten as:

\[ 3.1 \times 10^2 = 0.31 \times 10^3 \]

Step 2: Now, add the coefficients.

Now we can add them:

\[ 2.5 \times 10^3 + 0.31 \times 10^3 = (2.5 + 0.31) \times 10^3 = 2.81 \times 10^3 \]

Result:

\[ 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 = 2.81 \times 10^3 \]


Example 2: Subtraction

Problem: \( 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 \)

Step 1: Adjust to the same power of 10.

We can convert \( 2.1 \times 10^3 \) to have the same exponent as \( 5.4 \times 10^4 \):

\[ 2.1 \times 10^3 = 0.21 \times 10^4 \]

Step 2: Now, subtract the coefficients.

Now we perform the subtraction:

\[ 5.4 \times 10^4 - 0.21 \times 10^4 = (5.4 - 0.21) \times 10^4 = 5.19 \times 10^4 \]

Result:

\[ 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 = 5.19 \times 10^4 \]

Can u make it more human

Absolutely! Let’s go through the addition and subtraction with scientific notation in a more conversational style.

Example 1: Addition

Problem: What’s \( 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 \)?

  1. First, let's align the terms.
    We see that \( 2.5 \times 10^3 \) is in the thousands, but \( 3.1 \times 10^2 \) is only in the hundreds. To make it easier to add, we can convert \( 3.1 \times 10^2 \) into the same power of ten as the first term.
    So, we rewrite \( 3.1 \times 10^2 \) as \( 0.31 \times 10^3 \).

  2. Now, let’s add.
    With both terms now in terms of \( 10^3 \), we can add the coefficients:
    \[ 2.5 + 0.31 = 2.81 \]

  3. Putting it together, we have:
    \[ 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 = 2.81 \times 10^3 \]

Example 2: Subtraction

Problem: How about \( 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 \)?

  1. Align the terms again.
    Here, \( 5.4 \times 10^4 \) is in the tens of thousands, while \( 2.1 \times 10^3 \) is only in the thousands. So, let’s convert \( 2.1 \times 10^3 \) to match the power of ten of the first number:
    We can rewrite it as \( 0.21 \times 10^4 \).

  2. Now, it’s time to subtract.
    With both terms in terms of \( 10^4 \), we can perform the subtraction:
    \[ 5.4 - 0.21 = 5.19 \]

  3. So, our final answer is:
    \[ 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 = 5.19 \times 10^4 \]

Summary

  • For addition: \( 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 = 2.81 \times 10^3 \)
  • For subtraction: \( 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 = 5.19 \times 10^4 \)

I hope this makes it clearer! If you have any more questions or need further explanation, just let me know!

Make it more shorter

Sure! Here’s a shorter version of the addition and subtraction in scientific notation:

Example 1: Addition

Problem: \( 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 \)

  1. Convert: Rewrite \( 3.1 \times 10^2 \) as \( 0.31 \times 10^3 \).
  2. Add: \[ 2.5 + 0.31 = 2.81 \]
  3. Result: \[ 2.5 \times 10^3 + 3.1 \times 10^2 = 2.81 \times 10^3 \]

Example 2: Subtraction

Problem: \( 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 \)

  1. Convert: Rewrite \( 2.1 \times 10^3 \) as \( 0.21 \times 10^4 \).
  2. Subtract: \[ 5.4 - 0.21 = 5.19 \]
  3. Result: \[ 5.4 \times 10^4 - 2.1 \times 10^3 = 5.19 \times 10^4 \]

Noooo its add and subtract in scientific notation. Not addition and subtraction

Got it! Let’s do an example of addition and subtraction using numbers already in scientific notation.

Example 1: Addition in Scientific Notation

Problem: \( (3.0 \times 10^4) + (4.5 \times 10^4) \)

  1. Add the coefficients:
    \[ 3.0 + 4.5 = 7.5 \]

  2. Keep the exponent the same:
    \[ = 7.5 \times 10^4 \]

Result:
\[ (3.0 \times 10^4) + (4.5 \times 10^4) = 7.5 \times 10^4 \]


Example 2: Subtraction in Scientific Notation

Problem: \( (6.0 \times 10^5) - (2.2 \times 10^5) \)

  1. Subtract the coefficients:
    \[ 6.0 - 2.2 = 3.8 \]

  2. Keep the exponent the same:
    \[ = 3.8 \times 10^5 \]

Result:
\[ (6.0 \times 10^5) - (2.2 \times 10^5) = 3.8 \times 10^5 \]
