Question

8 directions: type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. the diameter of a bacterium is displayed on the calculator as 2e - 6 where e represents the × 10 part. based on the output of the calculator, the size of the bacterium written in scientific notation would be × 10 of a meter. in standard form, the value would be represented as

Explanation:

Step1: Convert calculator - display to scientific notation

The calculator shows 2E - 6. In scientific notation, this is $2\times10^{- 6}$.

Step2: Convert scientific notation to standard form

For $a\times10^{n}$, when $n=-6$, we move the decimal point 6 places to the left. So $2\times10^{-6}=0.000002$.

Answer:

First box: 2
Second box: - 6
Third box: 0.000002
