An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply the base by itself. For example, in $$2^3$$ , 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning $$2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8$$ .

What is $$\frac{a^7}{a^{14}}$$ simplified?

$$\frac{a^7}{a^{14}} = a^{7-14} = a^{-7} = \frac{1}{a^7}$$ .

What is the difference between Mercury's and Neptune's distances from the sun?

To find the difference, subtract Mercury's distance from Neptune's distance. If Mercury is $$5.7 \times 10^7$$ km and Neptune is $$4.5 \times 10^9$$ km, the difference is $$4.5 \times 10^9 - 5.7 \times 10^7$$ .

What is $$12 \times 10^6 + 13 \times 10^7$$ ?

Convert $$13 \times 10^7$$ to $$1.3 \times 10^8$$ , then add: $$12 \times 10^6 + 1.3 \times 10^8 = 1.42 \times 10^8$$ .

What is the total weight of 30 whales each weighing $$3.8 \times 10^5$$ pounds?

Total weight = $$30 \times 3.8 \times 10^5 = 114 \times 10^5 = 1.14 \times 10^7$$ pounds.

What does it mean to subtract in scientific notation?
