Subtract 4.66 × 10-5 (1 point) 7.34 × 10-7

5 answers

To subtract 4.66 × 10^-5 from 7.34 × 10^-7, we need to express both numbers in the same form.

7.34 × 10^-7 can be written as 0.00000734 × 10^0.

Now we can subtract these two numbers:

0.00000734 × 10^0 - 0.0000466 × 10^-5 = 0.00000734 - 0.0000000000466

Simplifying this expression, we get:

0.00000734 - 0.0000000000466 = 0.0000073399999534

So, subtracting 4.66 × 10^-5 from 7.34 × 10^-7 gives us 0.0000073399999534 (in scientific notation, it would be 7.34 × 10^-6).
Subtract 4.66 × 10-5 - 7.34 × 10-7
To subtract 4.66 × 10^-5 from 7.34 × 10^-7, we need to write both numbers with the same exponent:

4.66 × 10^-5 can be written as 0.0000466 × 10^0.

Now we can subtract these two numbers:

(0.0000466 × 10^0) - (7.34 × 10^-7)

= 0.0000466 - 0.00000000734

= 0.00004659266

So, subtracting 4.66 × 10^-5 from 7.34 × 10^-7 gives us 0.00004659266 (in scientific notation, it would be 4.659266 × 10^-5).
Subtract 4.66 × 10-5 - 7.34 × 10-7 -2.68 x 102 2.68 x 102 4.5866 × 107 -5 -5 -4.5866 x 107
Let's break down the subtraction step by step:

4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7 - 2.68 × 10^2 - 2.68 × 10^2 - 4.5866 × 10^7 - (-5) - (-5) - 4.5866 × 10^7

= 4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7 - 2.68 × 10^2 - 2.68 × 10^2 - 4.5866 × 10^7 + 5 + 5 - 4.5866 × 10^7

Now, let's simplify each term:

= 4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7 - 2 × 10^2 - 2 × 10^2 - 4.5866 × 10^7 + 5 + 5 - 4.5866 × 10^7

= 4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7 - 4 × 10^2 - 4 × 10^2

= 4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7 - 8 × 10^2

To subtract the numbers in scientific notation:

= (4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 × 10^-7) - 8 × 10^2

Now, let's subtract the scientific notation terms:

= (4.66 - 0.00734) × 10^-5 - 8 × 10^2

= 4.65266 × 10^-5 - 8 × 10^2

= 4.65266 × 10^-5 - 800

Thus, the final result is 4.65266 × 10^-5 - 800.
