Explanation:

`0.00452` in scientific notation

`=color(green)(4.52 xx 10^-3`

Answer 2

`4.52*10^-3`

Explanation:

When we write numbers in scientific notation, we want one digit before the decimal point.

In our case, we must loop the decimal `3` times to the right. The number of times we loop it is our exponent, and looping right makes it positive. Thus, we have

`4.52*10^-3`
