Question

Write 0.0251089 in Scientific Notation with 4 significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer: The given number in scientific notation is
`2.511* 10^(-2)`

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 number having value = 0.0251089

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

`\Rightarrow 0.0251089=2.511* 10^(-2)`

Hence, the given number in scientific notation is
`2.511* 10^(-2)`
