Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To subtract these numbers, we need to have the same power of 10.

Given that 4.66 × 10^(-5) - 7.34 × 10^(-7), we can rewrite the second number as 0.734 × 10^(-5) by multiplying by 100 (since 10^-7 = 0.01 * 10^(-5)).
Now we have 4.66 × 10^(-5) - 0.734 × 10^(-5).
Next, we subtract the decimal parts: 4.66 - 0.734 = 3.926.
The numbers after subtracting the decimal parts are the same, 10^(-5).
So the final result is 3.926 × 10^(-5), or written in scientific notation, 3.926e-5.
