Answer:
2.35 × 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Scientific notation (also called "Standard form") is written in the form
a × 10ⁿ where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is any positive or negative whole number.
To convert a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left or right until there is one digit to the left of the decimal point.
The number of times you have moved the decimal point is the power of 10 (the value of n).
- If the decimal point has moved to the left, n is positive.
- If the decimal point has moved to the right, n is negative.
To convert 0.0000235 to scientific notation:
- Move the decimal point 5 places to the right so that a = 2.35.
- As the decimal point has been moved 5 places the right, n = -5.
Therefore, 0.0000235 = 2.35 × 10⁻⁵.
