Question

how do you write 5.081 in scientific notation? \boxed{}×10^{\boxed{}}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific notation form

Scientific notation is \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq |a| < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

Step2: Determine \( a \) and \( n \) for 5.081

For 5.081, \( a = 5.081 \) (since \( 1 \leq 5.081 < 10 \)) and \( n = 0 \) (because \( 5.081 = 5.081 \times 10^0 \)).

Answer:

\( 5.081 \times 10^{0} \) (So the first box is 5.081 and the second box is 0)
