FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you add numbers in scientific notation with the same exponent?

Back

Add the coefficients and keep the exponent the same. For example, (2.6 x 10^6) + (4.2 x 10^6) = (2.6 + 4.2) x 10^6 = 6.8 x 10^6.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you add numbers in scientific notation with different exponents?

Back

Convert them to the same exponent before adding. For example, (4.3 x 10^10) + (8.7 x 10^8) requires converting 8.7 x 10^8 to 0.087 x 10^10.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you subtract numbers in scientific notation with the same exponent?

Back

Subtract the coefficients and keep the exponent the same. For example, (9.87 x 10^7) - (7.42 x 10^7) = (9.87 - 7.42) x 10^7 = 2.45 x 10^7.
