answer:
To add 3.2 x 10^4 and 1.95 x 10^6, we need to make the exponents of the numbers the same.
1. Rewrite the numbers in scientific notation:
3.2 x 10^4 + 1.95 x 10^6
2. To make the exponents the same, we can rewrite 3.2 x 10^4 as 0.32 x 10^5:
0.32 x 10^5 + 1.95 x 10^6
3. Now that the exponents are the same (both 5), we can add the numbers:
0.32 x 10^5 + 1.95 x 10^6 = 0.32 x 10^5 + 19.5 x 10^5
4. Add the numbers:
0.32 x 10^5 + 19.5 x 10^5 = (0.32 + 19.5) x 10^5
5. Simplify the sum:
(0.32 + 19.5) x 10^5 = 19.82 x 10^5
6. Finally, rewrite the result in scientific notation:
19.82 x 10^5 = 1.982 x 10^6
Therefore, 3.2 x 10^4 + 1.95 x 10^6 = 1.982 x 10^6.
the silly!!!
