In the following exercises, write each number in scientific notation.
557. 0.00000103

Answer 1

Hence, 0.00000103 can be expressed as
`$1.03 * 10^(-6)$`.

Explanation:

- Given 0.00000103

- Move the decimal point so that the factor is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10 .

- Then count n and write no. as a product with a power of 10 .

Step 1 of 1

Consider 0.00000103,

1.03

Decimal has moved 6 places to right.

The power will be negative as the original no. is less than 1 .

`$$\begin{array}{r}1.03 * 10^(-6) \\0.00000103=1.03 * 10^(-6)\end{array}$$`
