<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Because we perform something like common factor, so this guarantee that corresponding digits have regarding coefficients have the same place value. Remember that a number written in scientific notation is given by the product of a number between 1 and 10 and another number that is power of 10. For example, let's write two examples about this:

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =5\times 10^3

Addition:

a=2\times 10^3 \\ \\ b=4\times 10^3 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a+b=2\times 10^3+4\times 10^3 \\ \\ =(2+4)\times 10^3 \\ \\ =6\times 10^3

Subtraction:

a=7\times 10^5 \\ \\ b=2\times 10^5 \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ a-b=7\times 10^5-2\times 10^5 \\ \\ =(7-2)\times 10^5 \\ \\ =5\times 10^5

Law of sines: How many distinct triangles can be formed for which m∠A = 75°, a = 2, and b = 3?
butalik [34]
According to the law of sines:

\frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{b}{sin(B)}

Using the given values, we can find the angle B and find the number of possible triangles that can be formed.

\frac{2}{sin(75)}= \frac{3}{sin(B)} \\  \\ &#10;sin(B)=3* \frac{sin75}{2}  \\  \\ &#10;sin(B)=1.45 \\  \\ &#10;B=sin^{-1} (1.45)

The range of sin is from -1 to 1. The above expression does not yield any possible value of B, as sin of no angle can be equal to 1.45.

Therefore, we can conclude that no triangle exists with the given conditions.
