write 6 × 10⁻⁸ in standard form. type the number in the box.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall negative - exponent rule
A number in scientific notation (a\times10^{-n}) (where (1\leqslant a<10) and (n) is a positive integer) can be written in standard form by moving the decimal point (n) places to the left. Here (a = 6) and (n=8).
Step2: Move the decimal point
Starting with 6, move the decimal point 8 places to the left. We add 7 zeros before 6. So (6\times10^{-8}=0.00000006).
Answer:
(0.00000006)
