Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the two numbers given in scientific notation: \(9 \times 10^{10}\) and \(4 \times 10^{10}\).
Since both numbers have the same power of 10, subtract their coefficients directly: \(9 - 4\).
Perform the subtraction of the coefficients: \(9 - 4 = 5\).
Keep the power of 10 the same because it is common to both terms: \$10^{10}$.
Combine the result to express the answer in scientific notation: \(5 \times 10^{10}\).
