Answer 1

The standard form of the number shown in the calculator display as 1.46e-6 = 1.46 X 10^-6 = 0.00000146.

Answer 2

`.00000146` is the standard form of the given digit.

Explanation:

We have been given the number as:

`1.46e-6`

We can rewrite the above expression as:

`1.46\cdot 10^(-6)`

When we will remove the decimal from the digit 1.46 we get:

`146\cdot 10^(-6)\cdot 10^(-2)`

On simplification we get:

`146\cdot 10^(-8)`

Now we want 8 digits after decimal to convert it in standard form so we get:

`.00000146`
