Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(6×103)(2.59×103)(6 \times 10^3) - (2.59 \times 10^3)\newlineChoices:\newline(A)3.41×1093.41 \times 10^9\newline(B)3.41×1033.41 \times 10^3\newline(C)3.41×1003.41 \times 10^0\newline(D)3.41×1063.41 \times 10^6
  1. Identify Coefficients: We have:\newline(6×103)(2.59×103)(6 \times 10^3) - (2.59 \times 10^3)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can subtract the coefficients directly.\newlineWhat is 62.596 - 2.59?\newline62.59=3.416 - 2.59 = 3.41
  2. Convert to Scientific Notation: Write the answer in scientific notation\newlineSince we subtracted the coefficients and the power of 1010 remains the same, we keep the power of 1010 as is.\newlineScientific notation: 3.41×1033.41 \times 10^3
  3. Choose Equivalent Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for (6×103)(2.59×103)(6 \times 10^3) - (2.59 \times 10^3).(6×103)(2.59×103)=3.41×103(6 \times 10^3) - (2.59 \times 10^3) = 3.41 \times 10^3The correct choice is (B) 3.41×1033.41 \times 10^3.
