-2.68*10^2
4..5866*10^-5
-7.34*10^7 - 4.66*10^-5 = -7.340466*10^7.
To subtract 4.66 * 10^-5 from 7.34 * 10^7, we need to align the exponents and then subtract the two values:
7.34 * 10^7
- 0.0000466 * 10^7
Now we can subtract the values:
7.34 * 10^7 - 0.0000466 * 10^7 = 7.3399534 * 10^7
Therefore, the result is 7.3399534 * 10^7
To subtract numbers written in scientific notation, you need to make sure their exponents are the same.
In this case, we have:
4.66 * 10^(-5) - 7.34 * 10^7
To make the exponents the same, we can rewrite the first number as:
0.0000466 * 10^7
Now, we can subtract the numbers in front of the exponent:
0.0000466 - 7.34 = -7.3399534
Since we want our answer in scientific notation, we need to express this result with one digit before the decimal point. We can achieve this by moving the decimal point one place to the right:
-0.73399534
Next, we need to determine the exponent for our result. Since we have moved the decimal point one place to the right, our new exponent is: 10^7.
Combining the result and the exponent, we get:
-0.73399534 * 10^7
Rounding the result to four decimal places, we have:
-7.34 * 10^6
So, the subtraction of 4.66 * 10^(-5) - 7.34 * 10^7 equals -7.34 * 10^6.
