Question

Convert 0.00049 to scientific notation

Answer 1

Hello!

Scientific notation is a number 1-10 multiplied by
`10^(x)`.

As this number is less than one, we will use a negative exponent. We want to get a number between one and ten. To do so we multiply our number by
`10^(4)`. This gives us 4.9.

To show that this represents our number, we will use a negative exponent and get our answer below.

4.9(
`10^(-4)`)

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

`0.00049=4.9\cdot10^(-4)`
