Given the decimal:
0.44
Change to scientific notation.
Explanation:
In order to change a number into scientific notation, we must determine the number of zeros, and non zeros that the value have excluding the final digit, or the 0 in the left before the decimal point (for decimals).
The given value has a total of 1 non zero digit, and no zeros, therefore the degree or magnitude of the scientific notation will be -1, it became negative since we are given a decimal. If the value is a whole number, then the degree is positive. For the placement of the values, the final digit will be designated as a whole number in the scientific notation, and the non zero will be designated as a decimal of the whole number.
Final answer:
= 4.4 x 10^-1
