Question #35ef9

Answer 1

0.000000591 written in scientific notation is `5.91` x `10^-7`.

Explanation:

The coefficient is written ranging from `1.0` to `9.99`.

Look at `0.000000591`. The space after the first non-zero number counting from left to right is where your decimal point will go. To make the coefficient between `1.0` and `9.99`, move the decimal place `7` times to the right:

`0.000000591` `rArr` `5.91`

All the zeros before the `5` in `5.91` do not have to be written since `0` has no value.

Finally, after moving the decimal point `7` times to the right, indicate the change you have made to `0.000000592` by adding "x `10^-7`" after `5.91`.

`:., 0.000000591` written in scientific notation is `5.91` x `10^-7`.
