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.

We can convert \( 7.34 \times 10^{-7} \) to a form with an exponent of \( -5 \):

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

Now we can subtract:

\[ 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} = (4.66 - 0.0734) \times 10^{-5} \] \[ = 4.5866 \times 10^{-5} \]

So the answer is:

4.5866 × 10^(-5)
