Question

what is 0.0036 in scientific notation- please explain

Answer 1

3.6 x 10 ^ -3

Answer 2

because you move the decimal 3 units to the right to get 10^-3, if you were to move to the left it would be 10^3

Answer 3

3.6 * 10^-3

Answer 4

3.6x10^-3 because to write a number in scientific notation put the decimal after the first digit and drop the zeroes.

Answer 5

3.60 * 10^-3 you want to have 2 digits after the decimal.
If you move the decimal to the RIGHT its always going to be a negative exponent.
If you move the decimal to the LEFT its always going to be a positive exponent.

Answer 6

you dont have to have 2 digits
