Question

Write 8 x 10^(-3)in standard notation.

Answer 1

0.008

Step-by-step explanation

We are given the number below:

`8\cdot10^(-3)`

It is given in scientific notation. We want to write this in standard notation.

In the number above, we have that the decimal point is after 8:

`8.0\cdot10^(-3)`

Now, since the power is negative 3, we move the power three times to the left and fill the spaces with zeros:

`8.\text{0 }\cdot10^(-3)\text{ = 0.008}`

That is the standard notation.
