Answer 1

To subtract \(4.66 \times 10^{-5}\) and \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\), we need to express both numbers with the same exponent.

The first number is \(4.66 \times 10^{-5}\). We can convert \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\) to the same exponent:

\[ 7.34 \times 10^{-7} = 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} \]

Now we can perform the subtraction:

\[ 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} = (4.66 - 0.0734) \times 10^{-5} \]

Calculating the inside:

\[ 4.66 - 0.0734 = 4.5866 \]

So we have:

\[ 4.5866 \times 10^{-5} \]

Thus, the answer is:

4.5866×10⁻⁵
