Answer:
[tex]5.6 *10^7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex](4.54*10^8)-(3.98*10^8)[/tex]
Required
Solve
[tex](4.54*10^8)-(3.98*10^8)[/tex]
Apply distributive law of algebra
[tex](4.54 - 3.98) *10^8[/tex]
Evaluate the expression in bracket
[tex](0.56) *10^8[/tex]
Remove bracket
[tex]0.56 *10^8[/tex]
When a number is in standard form: [tex]a * 10^n[/tex]
The value of a must be: [tex]1 \le a \le 10[/tex]
So, the expression becomes:
[tex]5.6 *10^{-1}*10^8[/tex]
Apply law of indices
[tex]5.6 *10^{-1+8}[/tex]
[tex]5.6 *10^7[/tex]
