Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(9.736×103)(3.931×103)(9.736 \times 10^3) - (3.931 \times 10^3)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 5.805×1005.805 \times 10^0\newline(B) 5.805×1035.805 \times 10^3\newline(C) 3.662×1093.662 \times 10^9\newline(D) 3.662×1063.662 \times 10^6
  1. Subtract Coefficients: Subtract the coefficients of the given numbers since they have the same exponent. 9.7363.931=5.8059.736 - 3.931 = 5.805
  2. Keep Exponent: Since the exponents are the same, we keep the exponent as is for the result.\newlineThe final answer in scientific notation is 5.805×1035.805 \times 10^3.
  3. Choose Correct Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for the final answer from the given choices.\newlineThe correct choice is (B) 5.805×1035.805 \times 10^3.
