To subtract 4.66×10^−5 from 7.34×10^−7, you need to subtract the numbers separately and then subtract the exponents.
First, subtract the numbers: 7.34×10^−7 - 4.66×10^−5 = 7.34 - 4.66 = 2.68
Next, subtract the exponents: 10^(-7) - 10^(-5) = 10^(-7-(-5)) = 10^(-7+5) = 10^(-2) = 1/100 = 0.01
Therefore, the final answer is 2.68×10^(-2), or 2.68 times 10 to the power of negative 2.

thats wrong
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it.
To subtract 4.66×10^−5 from 7.34×10^−7, you need to subtract the numbers and keep the same exponent.
7.34×10^−7 - 4.66×10^−5 = 7.34×10^(-7-(-5)) - 4.66×10^(-5-(-5)) = 7.34×10^(-7+5) - 4.66×10^0
Since 10^0 equals 1, the expression simplifies to:
7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66×1 = 7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66
Therefore, the correct answer is 7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66.

7.34×10^−7 - 4.66×10^−5 = 7.34×10^(-7-(-5)) - 4.66×10^(-5-(-5)) = 7.34×10^(-7+5) - 4.66×10^0
Since 10^0 equals 1, the expression simplifies to:
7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66×1 = 7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66
Therefore, the correct answer is 7.34×10^(-2) - 4.66.
