It is indeed. \(a\times10^{\pm n}\) Is scientific notation. \(a\) can only be a number with one digit to the left of the decimal.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A number written in scientific notation consists of the product of a number from 1 to less than 10 multiplied by 10 raised to an integer power 5.1 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. 10^(-8) is 10 raised to an integer power.
