Question

What is 0.0000968 expressed in a scientific notation

Answer 1

9.68 x 10^-5  . It's 10 to the -5th power 

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is  $9.68*10^-^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about the scientific notation.

The scientific notation is a way of writing large numbers or small numbers. A number is written in scientific notation when a number is a digit in the interval of (1,10) and it is multiplied by a power of 10.

So we can change the number following the next two parts:

• Just the digit (the decimal point placed after the first digit of the number)
• followed by x 10 to a power that represents how many places we move the decimal point. If we move it to the right, the power is negative. If we move it to the left, the power is positive.

$a*10^b$

In this case, we have:

0,0000968

a=9.68

b=-5 (to the right)

$0.000968=9.68*10^-^5$

Finally, the scientific notation is $9.68*10^-^5$
