Question

The expression below is scientific notation for what number?
5.51 . 10-5
​

Answer 1

For this case we must rewrite the following expression:

`5.51 * 10 ^ {- 5}`

As the exponent is negative, it means that we must move the decimal to the left as many times as the exponent indicates. In this case we must move the decimal 5 times to the left:

`0.0000551`

Answer:

`0.0000551`

Answer 2

= 0.0000551

Explanation:

Given;

5.51 × 10^-5

The number will be;

= 0.0000551

Therefore;

5.51 × 10^-5 = 0.0000551
