Subtract. Write your answer in scientific notation. (9.832 × 10^3) – (1.645 × 10^3)

To subtract the numbers in scientific notation, we start with:

(9.832 × 10^3) – (1.645 × 10^3).

Since both terms have the same exponent of 10, we can perform the subtraction directly on the numerical coefficients:

9.832 – 1.645 = 8.187.

Now, we multiply this result by the common exponent:

8.187 × 10^3.

Thus, the answer in scientific notation is:

8.187 × 10^3.

So the correct answer is 8.187 × 10^3. Great job working through this! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask or check out the extended services page for more help!
