Question

how do you write 0.000034570 in scientific notation?

Explanation:

Step1: Move decimal point

Move the decimal point to the right until we have a number between 1 and 10. For 0.000034570, we get 3.4570.

Step2: Count decimal - point moves

We moved the decimal point 5 places to the right. Since the original number was less than 1, the exponent of 10 is negative. So the exponent is - 5.

$3.4570\times10^{-5}$
