To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare the two numbers:
1. \(7.434 \times 10^{15}\)
2. \(0.000000000000007434\), which can also be expressed in scientific notation as \(7.434 \times 10^{-15}\).
Now we compare the two:
- \(7.434 \times 10^{15}\) is a very large number (a positive number).
- \(7.434 \times 10^{-15}\) is a very small number (a positive number but close to zero).
Since \(7.434 \times 10^{15} \) is much larger than \(7.434 \times 10^{-15}\), the correct sign to make the statement true is:
\[
7.434 \times 10^{15} > 0.000000000000007434
\]
So the correct sign is \(>\).
