Question

6 x 10^-4 in standard form. explain how you did it pleeeeasee

Answer 1

0.0006=6x10^-4

Since the exponent is negative, the number will get smaller. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left. The exponent is -4, so the decimal place will move 4 places to the left.

Answer 2

0.0006

Explanation:

A number in scientific notation if it has the form a × 10ⁿ.

A negative exponent indicates

• A number between 0 and 1.
• That the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the left.

6 × 10⁻⁴ tells you that the decimal number is 6. with the decimal point moved four places to the left.

Thus, 6 × 10⁻⁴ becomes 0.0006
