Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(7.12×103)(4.43×103)(7.12 \times 10^3) - (4.43 \times 10^3)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 5.72×1035.72 \times 10^3\newline(B) 9.18×1039.18 \times 10^3\newline(C) 2.69×1032.69 \times 10^3\newline(D) 3.55×1033.55 \times 10^3
  1. Identify Coefficients: We have:\newline(7.12×103)(4.43×103)(7.12 \times 10^3) - (4.43 \times 10^3)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can subtract the coefficients directly.\newlineWhat is 7.124.437.12 - 4.43?\newline7.124.43=2.697.12 - 4.43 = 2.69
  2. Subtract Coefficients: Write the answer in scientific notation.\newlineSubstitute 2.692.69 for aa and 33 for bb in a×10ba \times 10^b.\newlineScientific notation: 2.69×1032.69 \times 10^3
  3. Convert to Scientific Notation: Choose the equivalent expression for (7.12×103)(4.43×103)(7.12 \times 10^3) - (4.43 \times 10^3).(7.12×103)(4.43×103)=2.69×103(7.12 \times 10^3) - (4.43 \times 10^3) = 2.69 \times 10^3(7.12×103)(4.43×103)(7.12 \times 10^3) - (4.43 \times 10^3) is equivalent to 2.69×1032.69 \times 10^3.
