Do you mean what is that in scientific notation?

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Yeah sure

campbell_st · Answer

the number is written in normal notation

anonymous · Answer

what is scientific notation is that isnt?

mwhit2101 · Answer

No they're right. It is regular notation. I wrote it wrong

mathstudent55 · Answer

Your number is already in regular notation.
0.0165 is regular notation
1.65 * 10 ^(-2) is scientific notation

anonymous · Answer

So you first want top count the zeros to know the supertext number

anonymous · Answer

so you want it in scientific?

mathstudent55 · Answer

Scientific notation needs to have a number from 1 to less than 10 multiplied by an integer power of 10.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Your number is 0.000923.
To make that into a number from 1 to less than 10, you need 9.23
Now you need to figure out what power of 10 you need.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, @mathstudent55 is correct, so in this case it has 4 zeros meaning the super text would be what @mwhit2101 ?

mwhit2101 · Answer

The what now

mwhit2101 · Answer

o.o

anonymous · Answer

(the supertext is the power that 10 is to)

mwhit2101 · Answer

Oh it would be 4 then ?

mathstudent55 · Answer

To go from 0.000923 to 9.23, you must move the decimal point 4 places to the right.
That makes 9.23 10^4 times larger than 0.000923, so to make the number the same as 0.000923, you must have a power of -4.
The answer is: $0.000923 = 9.23 \times 10^{-4}$

anonymous · Answer

Since it has a decimal before the actual numbers, it would be negative

anonymous · Answer

so yeah -4 meaning it would be what mathstudent said

mwhit2101 · Answer

Okay, then I was right. That's what I had done. Thanks guys!
