Answer 1

To convert 0.0002034 to scientific notation, move the decimal point four places to the right to get 2.034, making the scientific notation 2.034 × 10⁻´; hence, the correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the number 0.0002034 to scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. In this case, we move the decimal to the right of 2, which is the first non-zero digit, making it 2.034.

Since we moved the decimal place four places to the right, the exponent will be negative to reflect the small size of the number. Thus, the number in scientific notation is 2.034 × 10⁻´. The correct option for expressing 0.0002034 in scientific notation is option A, 2.034 × 10⁻´.
