Question

What is 0.0094 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Since 0.0094000000000000004 is less than 1, you'd move the decimal point to the right until you get a number that is greater than or equal to 1.
The number you end up with is a ( 9.4000000000000004 in this case ) and the number of places you had to move the decimal point, with a negative in front, is b ( -3 in this case ) :


9.4000000000000004 x 10 with an exponent of -3.

Answer 2

Oh so 9.4 x 10 -3?

Answer 3

No, there's lots of zeroes there for a reason.
