Question

Express 0.0000046 in scientific notation. [?]x10

Answer 1

Answer:

4.6 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

In scientific notation, the number should be written in between 1 - 10 and multiplied by 10 raised to a power.

In this case, the decimal place should be placed in-between the 4 and the 6. To do this, you must move the decimal place 6 digits to the right. When you move the decimal place to the right, the 10 should be raised to a negative number.

As such, 0.0000046 in scientific notation is 4.6 x 10⁻⁶.
