Answer: 1.2 x 10^-5
Step-by-step explanation: Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 1.2, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10
Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative
n = -5
Write in the scientific notation form, m × 10n
= 1.2 × 10-5
