Question

0.037 in scientific notation

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{3.7\ *\ 10^(-2)}`

First, you need to find where you can move the decimal point to so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of it.

Move the decimal point, and that is the first part done.

Add "
`*\ 10`".

For the last part - the power, you need to find how many decimal places you moved the decimal point. In this case, we moved it to the right 2 places, so the power is
`^(-2)`.

If, for example, we had moved the decimal point three places to the left, the power would be
`^(3)`.
