Question

0.000701 in scientific notation with negative powers of 10

Answer 1

To get a number into scientific notation, we must move the decimal till the number is between 1 and 10.

0.000701 : we move the decimal 4 times to get it to 7.01

Now, since we moved the decimal 4 times to the RIGHT, our exponent has to be a negative.

7.01 * 10^(-4)

Final answer: 7.01 * 10^(-4)

Answer 2

In scientific notation, the number written as such has to have an integer part between one and ten multiplied by a power of 10.

.000701 = 7.01 * 10^(-4)
