How do you write the standard number 0.0001063 in scientific notation?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

scientific notation has one digit before the decimal place, how many places does the decimal place have to move? (and which direction)

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

1 to the right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

it has to be more than one, because the one digit before the decimal place, must not be a zero

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

4 to the left?

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

or no 4 to the right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah so when it moves is to the right like this , the exponent of 10 becomes negative

OpenStudy (bananas1234):

1.063 × 10^-4

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

great, you've got it \(\color{red}\checkmark\)
