In order to write 0.00000482 in scientific notation we need to move the decimal point from its current location to a new position.
Here...
0.000004.82
So, now we need to move the decimal point 6 places to the left. This means that the power of 10 will be negative 6.
The answer is..
4.82⋅10^−6

Good luck and Happy Holidays~

Move the decimal so that there is one whole number.

0.00000482 => 4.82

We moved 6 units to the left so:

4.82 * 10^-6
