To subtract 4.66×10^−5 from 7.34×10^−7, we need to keep the same exponent and subtract the coefficients.
The coefficient of 7.34×10^−7 is 7.34.
The coefficient of 4.66×10^−5 is 4.66.
Subtracting them, we get 7.34 - 4.66 = 2.68.
Therefore, the answer is 2.68×10^−7.
Subtract 4.66×10^−5−7.34×10^−7(1 point) Responses −2.68×10^2 2.68×10^2 −4.5866×10^−5 4.5866×10^−5

Subtract 4.66×10^−5 −7.34×10^−7 What is the answer? −2.68×10^2? 2.68×10^2? −4.5866×10^−5? or 4.5866×10^−5?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's re-evaluate the subtraction correctly:
To subtract 4.66×10^−5 from -7.34×10^−7, we need to keep the same exponent and subtract the coefficients.
The coefficient of -7.34×10^−7 is -7.34.
The coefficient of 4.66×10^−5 is 4.66.
Subtracting them, we get 4.66 - (-7.34) = 4.66 + 7.34 = 12.
Therefore, the answer is 12×10^−7.
Converting it to scientific notation, we get the coefficient between 1 and 10, so we move the decimal point one position to the left and adjust the exponent accordingly:
12×10^−7 = 1.2×10^−6.
So, the correct answer is 1.2×10^−6. Apologies for the incorrect previous responses.
