Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(5.83×104)(1.22×104)(5.83 \times 10^4) - (1.22 \times 10^4)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 4.61×1044.61 \times 10^4\newline(B) 4.61×1084.61 \times 10^8\newline(C) 7.05×1047.05 \times 10^4\newline(D) 7.05×1087.05 \times 10^8
  1. Calculate Coefficients: We have:\newline(5.83×104)(1.22×104)(5.83 \times 10^4) - (1.22 \times 10^4)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can subtract the coefficients directly.\newlineWhat is 5.831.225.83 - 1.22?\newline5.831.22=4.615.83 - 1.22 = 4.61
  2. Convert to Scientific Notation: Write the answer in scientific notation.\newlineSubstitute 4.614.61 for the coefficient and 44 for the exponent in a×10ba \times 10^b.\newlineScientific notation: 4.61×1044.61 \times 10^4
  3. Find Equivalent Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for (5.83×104)(1.22×104)(5.83 \times 10^4) - (1.22 \times 10^4).(5.83×104)(1.22×104)=4.61×104(5.83 \times 10^4) - (1.22 \times 10^4) = 4.61 \times 10^4(5.83×104)(1.22×104)(5.83 \times 10^4) - (1.22 \times 10^4) is equivalent to 4.61×1044.61 \times 10^4.
