Given the value:
0.000000043
Change to scientific notation.
Solution:
In order to change a number in standard form to scientific notation, simply count the number of zeros and non zeros excluding the final digit for whole numbers, whereas we only include the first non zero digit for the decimals. The given number has a total of 7 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude or the degree of the scientific notation is -8. The non-zero number excluding the first digit will be written in decimal point.
= 4.3 x 10^-18
Final answer:
= 4.3 x 10^-18
