Addition and subtraction of scientific notation

Example: Add the scientific notations below:

The) 1,2. 10 2 + 11,5. 102 = (1, 2 + 11. 5). 102 = 12,7. 102 = 1,27.103

B) 0,23. 10-3 + 0,4. 10-3 = (0,23 + 0,4). 10-3 = 0,63. 10-3 = 6,3.10-4

ç) 200 + 3,5. 102 = 2. 102 + 3,5. 102 = (2 + 3,5). 102 = 5,5. 102 → In this example, we had to transform 200 to 2. By doing this, we get the same order of magnitude for the two scientific notations.

Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)

Example: Get the results of the subtractions below:

The) 34,567. 103 – 5,6. 103 = (34,567 – 5,6). 103 = 28,967. 103 = 2,8967. 104

B) 1,14. 10-2 – 0,26. 10-2 = (1,14 – 0.26). 10-2 = 0,88. 10-2 = 8,8. 10-3

ç) 25,4. 102 – 12,3. 103 = 25,4. 102 – 123. 102 = (25,4 – 123). 102 = – 97,6. 102 = – 9,76. 10→ We had to transform 12.3 to 123 because the order of magnitude chosen for base ten was number 2.
