Question

A certain human red blood cell has a diameter of 0.000007 meters.Write an expression that represents this diameter, in meters in scientific notation. Equation

Answer 1

By definition we have to:
 Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large or too small to be written in a conventional manner.
 The use of this notation is based on powers of base 10.
  A number written in scientific notation follows the following pattern:
 $m * 10 ^ e$
 The number m is called "mantissa" and e the "order of magnitude"
 For this case we have:
 0.000007
 Using the definition, we have that the measure of the diameter in scientific notation is:
 $0.000007 = 7 * 10 ^ {-6}$
 Answer:
 An expression that represents this diameter, in meters in scientific notation is:
 $7 * 10 ^ {-6}$
