Answer:

2.12x10 to the -3rd power

Explanation:

To put this into scientific notation, you first have to get a number that is not 0 in the one's place by moving the decimal:

0.00212

0002.12

It moved three places to the right, so the exponent will be negative:

2.12x10 to the -3 power

That is your answer

Hope this helps!
