0.58*10^-2 is how you write it out in scientific notation.

since it is less then 1, we will be using a negative exponent.

0.058....we want that decimal right before the last number (8)...so how many spaces do we have to move the decimal ? We have to move it 2 spaces.
so ur answer is : 5.8 x 10^-2
