Question

2.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.2 *10⁻⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the diameter of the hair expressed as 0.000072, we are to express it in scientific notation.

The standard form of scientific notation is expressed as;

A * 10ⁿ

A is a value from 1 to 9

n is any integer.

Rewriting 0.000072 in this form, we will need to shift the decimal point to the front 5 times to have;

0.000072 = 7.2 *10⁻⁵ where;

A = 7.2 and n = -5

Note that the power is a negative value since the value is less than 1.
