Answer:

9.8E^-5 (or 9.8*10^-5)

Explanation:

0.000098 converted to scientific notation is either 9.8E^-5 or 9.8*10^-5 as they are the same, just different ways of writing it. To get this, you just count the spaces away from the decimal point the number is.

ex.) 0.98 = 9.8E^-1 as it just has to move 1 decimal

980 = 9.8E^1 as it has to move 1 decimal to the positive side

and so on.
