Write 0.000000000676 in scientific notation.
Answer
$$ 0.000000000676 = 6.76\cdot 10^{-10} $$
Explanation
Step 1: Move the decimal point from its current position (the black dot) to a position immediately to the right of the first nonzero digit (the red dot).
0.0000000006.76
Step 2: We moved the decimal point 10 spaces to the left. Therefore, the exponent on base 10 will be negative 10.Now we know that the:
Mantissa = 6.76
Exponent = -10
So, the solution is:
$$0.000000000676 = \color{blue}{ 6.76} \cdot 10^{ \color{red}{ -10 }}$$This page was created using
