Adding Exponents
(4 x 103) + (5 x 102) = 4000 + 500 = 4500 (4.3 x 104) + (4.3 x 10-2) = 43000 + 0.043 = 43000.043 (5.3 x 103) - (2 x 102) = (6.72 x 102) + (4.3 x 10-1) =
Multiplying/Dividing Exponents
(4 x 103) x (5 x 102) = Coef: 4 x 5 = 20; Exp 2 + 3 = 105 à 20 x 105 or 2 x 106 (4.3 x 104) x (4.3 x 10-2) = Coef: 4.3 x 4.3 = 18.5; Exp 4 -2 = 102 à 18.5 x 102 or 1.8 x 103
(6 x 105) / (2 x 102) = Coef: 6 / 2 = 3; Exp 5 + (-2) = 103 à 3 x 103 (8 x 105) / (-4 x 10-2) = Coef: 8 / -4 = -2; Exp 5 - (-2) = 107 à -2 x 107
