write $6 \\times 10^{-8}$ in standard form. type the number in the box.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall scientific notation to standard form
For a number in scientific notation ( a \times 10^n ), if ( n ) is negative, we move the decimal point ( |n| ) places to the left. Here, ( a = 6 ) and ( n=-8 ).
Step2: Convert ( 6\times10^{-8} ) to standard form
Moving the decimal point 8 places to the left of 6 (we add leading zeros as needed). So ( 6\times10^{-8}=0.00000006 ).
Answer:
( 0.00000006 )
