Answer 3

Is it 0.00000000578

Answer 4

scientific notation? means is a special way of writing numbers:
How to Do it

To figure out the power of 10, think "how many places do I move the decimal point?"

When the number is 10 or greater, the decimal point has to move to the left, and the power of 10 is positive.


When the number is smaller than 1, the decimal point has to move to the right, so the power of 10 is negative.

Example: 0.0055 is written 5.5 × 10-3


Because 0.0055 = 5.5 × 0.001 = 5.5 × 10-3

Example: 3.2 is written 3.2 × 100


We didn't have to move the decimal point at all, so the power is 100

But it is now in Scientific Notation

Answer 13

@alivejeremy
If you are asking for help, people take the time to explain to you. If you already know it, there are more courteous ways of saying that than
`I know what it means kiddo. ;)`

In fact you'll be surprised that your response shows clearly that you don't know what a scientific notation is. I suggest you reread what @rcp031 posted, and apologize to him/her about your attitude.

If you still cannot figure it out, post again, but only after reading every word @rcp031 posted.

Answer 14

I do know what scientific notation mean.

Answer 15

I am just confused on this question.
