To add numbers in scientific notation, they need to have the same exponent. If they don’t, you will have to adjust them so they do by changing one of the numbers to a new equivalent form.
For illustration, let’s add \(3.2 \times 10^{4}\) with another example number, say \(4.5 \times 10^{4}\). Since both numbers have the same exponent, we can simply add the coefficients:
\[ 3.2 \times 10^{4} + 4.5 \times 10^{4} = (3.2 + 4.5) \times 10^{4} = 7.7 \times 10^{4} \]
If you have a specific number you'd like to add to \(3.2 \times 10^{4}\), please provide that, and I can help with the calculation!
