Given the value:
2.5 x 10^3
3.5 x 10^2
Determine the sum of the numbers.
Solution:
In order to determine the sum of the two values we simply needed to equate the two values into having the same exponent or degree, hence we can rewrite 3.5 x 10^2 as 0.35 x10^3
= (2.5 x 10^3) + (0.35 x 10^3)
= 2.85 x 10^3
Final answer:
= 2.85 x 10^3
