Subtract 4.66 × 10^-5 - 7.34 x 10^-7
To subtract 4.66 × 10^-5 from 7.34 × 10^-7, we first need to make sure both numbers have the same exponent.
We can rewrite 7.34 × 10^-7 as 0.734 × 10^-6 by multiplying both the coefficient and the exponent by 10.
Now we can subtract the two numbers:
0.734 × 10^-6 - 4.66 × 10^-5 = (0.734 - 46.6) × 10^-6 = -45.866 × 10^-6
Finally, we can simplify the result and put it in scientific notation:
-45.866 × 10^-6 = -4.5866 × 10^-5
