add these scientific notation numbers and give the answer in scientific notation:
(4.1 x 10⁶) + (2.5 x 10⁴)

Explanation:

Step1: Make exponents equal

Convert \(2.5 \times 10^{4}\) to have exponent \(6\): \(2.5 \times 10^{4}=0.025 \times 10^{6}\)

Step2: Add the coefficients

Add \(4.1\) and \(0.025\): \(4.1 + 0.025 = 4.125\)

Step3: Combine with power of 10

Combine with \(10^{6}\): \(4.125 \times 10^{6}\) (already in scientific notation as \(4.125\) is between \(1\) and \(10\))

Answer:

\(4.125 \times 10^{6}\)
