Hello I need help with scientific notation please 0.00000586
0.00000586 = 5.86 x 10^-6.
The -6 means that you would have to move the decimal 6 places to theleft to
return to STD Form.
In scientific notation, the number to the left of the decimal point is always single digit.
I hope this helps.

Certainly! I can help you with scientific notation. To convert a decimal number like 0.00000586 into scientific notation, you'll need to move the decimal point to the right until there's only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, you would move the decimal point 6 places to the right.
To keep the value of the number the same, you'll need to multiply it by a power of 10 that corresponds to the number of places you moved the decimal point. Since you moved the decimal point 6 places to the right, you need to multiply the original number by 10^6.
So, the scientific notation for 0.00000586 is 5.86 x 10^(-6). The negative power indicates that the decimal point was moved to the left, making the number smaller.
Just a reminder, in scientific notation, the number before the "x 10" is typically between 1 and 10, and the exponent represents the number of places the decimal point was moved.
