Question

how do you write 8.678 × 10^{-10} in standard form?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent rule

When we have a number in scientific - notation \(a\times10^{-n}\) (\(n>0\)), we move the decimal point \(n\) places to the left.

Step2: Move the decimal point

For \(8.678\times 10^{-10}\), we move the decimal point 10 places to the left. We add 9 zeros before 8. So the number is \(0.0000000008678\).

Answer:

\(0.0000000008678\)
