Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given the expression . . We need to simplify this expression.
STEP 2
First, we need to simplify each term separately. Let's start with the first term .The expression means "a times10 raised to the power of b". In this case, means "10 raised to the power of -2", which is the same as or .
So, is the same as .
STEP 3
Now, calculate the value of .
STEP 4
Next, let's simplify the second term .Again, the expression means "a times10 raised to the power of b". In this case, means "10 raised to the power of3", which is the same as or .
So, is the same as .
STEP 5
Now, calculate the value of .
STEP 6
Now that we have simplified both terms, we can substitute these values back into the original expression to simplify it.
STEP 7
Finally, subtract from to get the final answer.
The simplified form of the given expression is .
