To write the given numbers in scientific notation, we need to express them in the form of "a × 10^b," where "a" is a decimal number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10, and "b" is an integer.
1. For the number 0.000005:
To express this number in scientific notation, we count how many decimal places we have to shift to get a number greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10. In this case, we need to shift the decimal point five places to the right.
0.000005 can be written as 5 × 10^(-6).
2. For the number 30 million:
To express this number in scientific notation, we need to convert it to the desired format.
30 million can be written as 3 × 10^7.
3. For the number 0.036754:
To express this number in scientific notation, we again look at how many decimal places we need to shift. In this case, we need to shift the decimal point two places to the right.
0.036754 can be written as 3.6754 × 10^(-2).
4. For the number 24,000,059:
To express this number in scientific notation, we count how many digits we need to shift to the right of the first non-zero digit. In this case, we need to shift five places.
24,000,059 can be written as 2.4000059 × 10^7.
