Question

Because quantum mechanics is physics that describes the interactions of very small objects (i.e. molecules, atoms, and electrons), this week you will need to know how to multiply very small numbers.

Remember that scientific notation writes very small or large number in terms of powers of 10.

For example, .0008 can be written in scientific notation as
. The exponent of 10 (-4, in this case) tells you to take the number 8.0 and move the decimal 4 places to the left giving us .0008.

Which is a correct representation of .000025 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

The correct representation of .000025 in scientific notation is: 2.5 x 10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a way to express very small or large numbers using powers of 10. It is commonly used in science, engineering, and mathematics to represent numbers that would otherwise be cumbersome to write or read in standard decimal notation.

Using scientific notation makes it easier to work with very large or very small numbers, as well as to compare and perform arithmetic operations on them. It also allows scientists and engineers to express measurements and quantities in a concise and standardized manner.
