Use scientific notation to rewrite the number. 0.000034
3.4 x 10^5 ****
3.4 x 10^7
34 x 10^8
Am I right, or can you explain this to me? I can't do scientific notation very well:(
3.4 x 10^-5
The exponent is a negative as it is a decimal number.
It doesn't have a negative sign, that's all the ones it lists for me:( That's why I am a bit confused
WAT
To rewrite a number in scientific notation, we want to express it in the form A x 10^n, where A is a decimal number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, and n is an integer.
In this case, the number is 0.000034.
To write it in scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count how many places you moved the decimal point.
In this case, we move the decimal point five places to the right: 0.000034 becomes 0.000000034.
Now, A is the decimal number formed by the non-zero digit and all of the digits to the right. So, A = 3.4.
The number 3.4 in scientific notation is 3.4 x 10^(-8).
Therefore, the correct scientific notation for the number 0.000034 is 3.4 x 10^(-8).
