Why are binary and decimal called positional numbering system?
Because they depend on the place value of numbers. For example, 101 = 1*b2 + 0*b + 1 where b is the base (2 or 10). There are only b different symbols or digits. Numbers that are greater than or equal to the base are displayed using the positional notation.
How do you add and subtract numbers using scientific notation?
To add or subtract numbers in scientific notation you first need to equalise their exponents. Having done that, you carry out the addition or subtraction on the significands and append the common exponent. Then you adjust the exponent so that the significand is between 1 and 10. For example, 1.234*104 - 2.34*102 (equalise exponents) = 123.4*102 - 2.34*102 (carry out subtraction) = (123.4-2.34)*102 = 121.06*102 (adjust exponent) = 1.2106*104
