Answer: 0.000021 in scientific notation is
2.1 × 10-5
Explanation:
All numbers in scientific notation or standard form are written in the form
m × 10n, where m is a number between 1 and 10 ( 1 ≤ |m| < 10 ) and the exponent n is a positive or negative integer.
To convert 0.000021 into scientific notation, follow these steps:
Move the decimal 5 times to right in the number so that the resulting number, m = 2.1, is greater than or equal to 1 but less than 10
Since we moved the decimal to the right the exponent n is negative
n = -5
Write in the scientific notation form m × 10n
= 2.1 × 10-5
Therefore,
2.1 × 10-5 is the scientific notation form of 0.000021 number and 2.1e-5 is the scientific e-notation form for 0.000021
