Question

How do you write 0.096 in scientific notation?

Answer 1

`9.6 xx10^-2`

Explanation:

A number in scientific notation has to satisfy the following conditions

It has to be of the form : `a xx10^n`

where 1 ≤ a < 10 , and n is an integer.

To convert 0.096 into a number between 1 and 10 = 9.6

To put it back into it's original form requires moving the
decimal point 2 places to the left from where we have put it.

`rArr 0.096 = 9.6 xx 10^-2`

Answer 2

`9.6xx10^-2`

Explanation:

In scientific notation the numbers are written in the following form

`m times 10^n`

here the exponent `n` is chosen so that the absolute value of `m` remains at least one but less than ten or `(1 ≤ |m| < 10)`
