To find the difference between the two numbers, we need to subtract the coefficients separately and keep the base (10) and the exponent the same.
Coefficient difference: 4 - 3 = 1
Since both numbers have the same base (10), we can keep it the same.
Exponent: 8
Therefore, the difference between (4 * 10^8) and (3 * 10^7) is 1 * 10^8 in scientific notation form.
Use subtraction to find the difference between the two following scientific notations. Your answer should be written in scientific notation form.
(4*10^8)-(3*10^7)
