How do you write 0.000057 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

You need to get to the form #axx10^b# where #a# is a number with just one non-zero digit in front of the decimal point.

In order to do this, you will have to shift the decimal point 5 places to the right, in other words you have to divide by 100000 (1 with 5 zeroes). A 1 with 5 zeroes is written #10^5#.

#=5.7/10^5=5.7xx10^(-5)#
