To subtract the numbers in scientific notation, we need to make sure the exponents are the same. In this case, both numbers have exponents of -5.
To subtract: 4.66×10^−5 - 7.34×10^−7
First, the numbers can be rewritten to have the same exponent of -5:
4.66×10^−5 - 0.00734×10^−5
Now, we subtract the numbers: 4.66 - 0.00734 = 4.65266
Finally, we write the result in scientific notation: 4.65266×10^−5
So the correct answer is: 4.65266×10^−5
