The length of the bacteria should be written in scientific notation.
0.00365 in scientific notation = 3 × 10^-3
Given.
length of the bacteria in decimal = 0.00365 cm long
Scientific notation is written in the format x × 10ⁿ
where,
x = any number between digit 1 and 10
n = exponent (positive or negative).
- To have a negative exponent value, move decimal to the right
- To have a positive exponent value, move the decimal point to the left.
In this case, the nearest significant value is 3
So move the decimal point three times to where 3 is
That is,
0.00365 = 3.65
Since the decimal point is moved to the right 3 times, n = - 3
we have 10^-3
Therefore,
0.00365 in scientific notation = 3 × 10^-3
