2.5x10^-5 equals what?
just shift the decimal point 5 places to the left.
To find the equivalent value of 2.5x10^-5, we need to understand scientific notation.
Scientific notation is a way to express numbers that are either very large or very small. It consists of two parts: a coefficient and a power of 10.
In this case, the coefficient is 2.5, and the power of 10 is -5. The negative exponent indicates that the number is a decimal less than 1.
To convert scientific notation to a standard decimal form, we can multiply the coefficient by 10 raised to the power of the exponent.
In this case, we'll multiply 2.5 by 10 raised to the power of -5:
2.5 x 10^-5
= 2.5 x (1/10^5) [Since 10^-5 is equal to 1/10^5]
= 2.5 x 1/100000
= 2.5/100000
Therefore, 2.5x10^-5 is equal to 0.000025.
