To subtract these numbers in scientific notation, we need to make sure that both numbers have the same exponent. Let's rewrite both numbers with the same exponent of -7.
4.66x10^-5 = 0.0000466 (exponent changed to -7)
7.34x10^-7 = 0.000000734 (exponent changed to -7)
Now, subtract the two numbers:
0.0000466 - 0.000000734 = 0.000045866
Therefore, 4.66x10^-5 - 7.34x10^-7 = 0.000045866.
Subtract 4.66x10 to the power of negative 5 - 7.34x10 to the negative power of 7
