Solve this problem, expressing the result with engineering notation. (12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) = _____
Solve this problem, expressing the result with engineering notation.
(12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) = _____
1. Adjust to produce identical exponents, if necessary (12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) Adjustment is not necessary. Exponents are equal.
1. Adjust to produce identical exponents, if necessary
(12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) Adjustment is not necessary. Exponents are equal.
(12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3)
Adjustment is not necessary. Exponents are equal.
10-3
2. Add or subtract the coefficients, as designated (12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3)
2. Add or subtract the coefficients, as designated
12 + 2.2 = 14.2
3. Attach the common power of ten (12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) = 14.4 x 10-3 The solution is already normalized
3. Attach the common power of ten
(12 x 10-3) + (2.2 x 10-3) = 14.4 x 10-3
The solution is already normalized
