TEA [102]3 years ago

Explanation:

The scientific notation:

a\times10^k

where

1\leq a and k is integer.

We have the example:

(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)

You can write the numbers in a "normal" form:

5\times10^3=5\times1000=5000\\\\4.3\times10^4=4.3\times10000=43000

Make the sum:

5000+43000=48000

And next write it in the scientific notation:

48000=4\underbrace{8000}_{\leftarrow4}=4.8000\times10000=4.8\times10^4

<h3>Other method:</h3>

You can add numbers in scientific notation if the power of tens in both number is the same.

Therefore you must convert the first number:

5\times10^3=0.5\times10\times10^3=0.5\times10^4

Now, you can make the sum:

(5\times10^3)+(4.3\times10^4)=0.5\times10^4+4.3\times10^4=(0.5+4.3)\times10^4=4.8\times10^4
