Final answer:

0.000001 can be written as 1 x 10^-6 in scientific notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The power of 10 is equal to the number of places the decimal is shifted. When writing a number in scientific notation, we can express it as a decimal multiplied by a power of 10.

In this case, 0.000001 can be written as 1 x 10-6. The decimal point is shifted 6 places to the right in order to get the digit number.

You need to move the decimal point to be at 1.

Since this is a decimal, the power will be negative.

I had to move the decimal 6 places.

So,

1^-6

I hope this helps!
