Answer 2

Answer:

1.4 × 10^-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The chip is 14  nanometers

14 * .000000001

.000000014

Move the decimal 8 places to the right, because we need 1 number in front of the decimal for scientific notation.  The exponent will be -8 because  we moved it 8 places to the right

1.4 × 10^-8
