Answer 2

Answer: The given number is equal to
`-9.0606* 10^(5)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the notation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. This means that the number is always written in the power of 10 form. The numerical digit lies between 0.1.... to 9.9.....

If the decimal is shifting to right side, the power of 10 is negative and if the decimal is shifting to left side, the power of 10 is positive.

We are given:

A quantity having a value of -906,060

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

`\Rightarrow -906,060=-9.0606* 10^(5)`

As, the decimal point is shifting to left side, thus the power of 10 is positive.

Hence, the given number is equal to
`-9.0606* 10^(5)`
