Convert to Scientific Notation (5.910^-4)-(1.810^-4)

$(5.9 \cdot 10^{- 4}) - (1.8 \cdot 10^{- 4})$

Step 1

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the $10$ . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
