3.006 x 10^1 - 3.9 x 10^-1
step by step please!!
To subtract these two numbers, you first need to convert them into the same exponent format.
Step 1: Convert 3.006 x 10^1 to scientific notation:
3.006 x 10^1 = 30.06
Step 2: Convert 3.9 x 10^-1 to scientific notation:
3.9 x 10^-1 = 0.39
Now that both numbers are in decimal format, you can subtract them:
30.06 - 0.39 = 29.67
Therefore, the subtraction of 3.006 x 10^1 and 3.9 x 10^-1 is 29.67.
To perform the given calculation step by step, follow these steps:
1. Rewrite the numbers in standard decimal notation:
- 3.006 x 10^1 becomes 30.06
- 3.9 x 10^-1 becomes 0.39 (since 10^-1 means to move the decimal point one place to the left)
2. Subtract the two decimal numbers:
30.06 - 0.39 = 29.67
3. Write the answer in scientific notation, if required:
Since the original numbers were given in scientific notation, we can express the answer as 2.967 x 10^1.
So, the result of 3.006 x 10^1 - 3.9 x 10^-1 is 2.967 x 10^1.
To subtract the given numbers, we need to make sure that they have the same exponent. Let's rewrite them with the same exponent.
Step 1: Rewrite the numbers with the same exponent:
3.006 x 10^1 - 3.9 x 10^-1 can be written as:
30.06 x 10^0 - 0.39 x 10^0
Step 2: Combine the coefficients:
30.06 x 10^0 - 0.39 x 10^0 = (30.06 - 0.39) x 10^0
Step 3: Calculate the coefficient:
30.06 - 0.39 = 29.67
Step 4: Write the answer in scientific notation:
29.67 x 10^0 can be written as:
2.967 x 10^1
Therefore, 3.006 x 10^1 - 3.9 x 10^-1 = 2.967 x 10^1.
no, i want it answered in scientific form
Apologies for the confusion. Let's write the answer in scientific notation.
Step 1: Rewrite the numbers in standard decimal notation:
- 3.006 x 10^1 becomes 30.06
- 3.9 x 10^-1 becomes 0.39 (since 10^-1 means to move the decimal point one place to the left)
Step 2: Subtract the two decimal numbers:
30.06 - 0.39 = 29.67
Step 3: Write the answer in scientific notation:
29.67 can be written as 2.967 x 10^1
So, the result of 3.006 x 10^1 - 3.9 x 10^-1 is 2.967 x 10^1.
