In Exercises 102–103, perform the indicated operations. Assume that exponents represent whole numbers. 102. (x2n – 3x" + 5) + (4x2" – 3x" – 4) – (2x2 – 5x" – 3) 103. (y3n – 7y2n + 3) – (-3y3n – 2y2" – 1) + (6y3n – yn + 1) 104. From what polynomial must 4x? + 2x – 3 be subtracted to obtain 5x? – 5x + 8?
Scientific Notation. In Exercises 9–12, the given expressions are designed to yield results expressed in a form of scientific notation. For example, the calculator-displayed result of 1.23E5 can be expressed as 123,000, and the result of 1.23E-4 can be expressed as 0.000123. Perform the indicated operation and express the result as an ordinary number that is not in scientific notation. 614
Motorcycle license plates in the state of California start with two digits(0–9), followed by one uppercase letter (A–Z), followed by four digits (0–9). Determine the number of motorcycle license plates possible if the first two digits must be odd, the last four digits cannot be 0, and repetition is not permitted.
