subtract these scientific notation
numbers and give the answer in
scientific notation:
(9.6 x 10⁸) − (4.1 x 10⁸)

Explanation:

Step1: Factor out \(10^8\)

Since both terms have \(10^8\), we can factor it out: \((9.6 - 4.1)\times10^8\)

Step2: Subtract the coefficients

Calculate \(9.6 - 4.1 = 5.5\)

Step3: Write in scientific notation

The result is \(5.5\times10^8\)

Answer:

\(5.5\times10^8\)
