Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(3.7×108)(1.76×108)(3.7 \times 10^8) - (1.76 \times 10^8)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 1.94×1081.94 \times 10^8\newline(B) 1.94×1091.94 \times 10^9\newline(C) 6.512×1086.512 \times 10^8\newline(D) 6.512×1096.512 \times 10^9
  1. Identify Expression: We have:\newline(3.7×108)(1.76×108)(3.7 \times 10^8) - (1.76 \times 10^8)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can subtract the coefficients directly.\newlineWhat is 3.71.763.7 - 1.76?\newline3.71.76=1.943.7 - 1.76 = 1.94
  2. Subtract Coefficients: Write the answer in scientific notation.\newlineSubstitute 1.941.94 for the coefficient and keep the power of 1010 as 88.\newlineScientific notation: 1.94×1081.94 \times 10^8
  3. Convert to Scientific Notation: Choose the equivalent expression for (3.7×108)(1.76×108)(3.7 \times 10^8) - (1.76 \times 10^8).(3.7×108)(1.76×108)=1.94×108(3.7 \times 10^8) - (1.76 \times 10^8) = 1.94 \times 10^8
