Q. Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation.\newline(9.94×107)(5.2×107)(9.94 \times 10^7) - (5.2 \times 10^7)\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 4.74×1074.74 \times 10^7\newline(B) 4.74×1094.74 \times 10^9\newline(C) 4.74×1084.74 \times 10^8\newline(D) 4.74×10104.74 \times 10^10
  1. Calculate Coefficients: We have:\newline(9.94×107)(5.2×107)(9.94 \times 10^7) - (5.2 \times 10^7)\newlineSince the powers of 1010 are the same, we can subtract the coefficients directly.\newlineWhat is 9.945.29.94 - 5.2?\newline9.945.2=4.749.94 - 5.2 = 4.74
  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: 4.74×1074.74 \times 10^7
  3. Find Equivalent Expression: Choose the equivalent expression for (9.94×107)(5.2×107)(9.94 \times 10^7) - (5.2 \times 10^7).(9.94×107)(5.2×107)=4.74×107(9.94 \times 10^7) - (5.2 \times 10^7) = 4.74 \times 10^7(9.94×107)(5.2×107)(9.94 \times 10^7) - (5.2 \times 10^7) is equivalent to 4.74×1074.74 \times 10^7.
