The number 0.000000000056 can be written in scientific notation and standard form as follows:

Scientific notation:
To write the number in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of times we move the decimal point is the exponent of 10. Counting the number of places we move the decimal point, we get:
0.000000000056 = 5.6 × 10^−11

Standard form:
To write the number in standard form, we simply write out the number in its expanded form. The number of zeros in the coefficient is determined by the exponent of 10. Counting the number of zeros, we get:
0.000000000056 = 0.0000000000560 (since there are 12 zeros in the exponent)
So, the number 0.000000000056 can be written in scientific notation as 5.6 × 10^−11 and in standard form as 0.0000000000560.
