Given the number:

​0.000000000093

Equate the given number in 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, for decimals, we only include the first non-zero digit. The given number has a total of 10 zeros and 1 non zero, therefore the magnitude of the degree of the scientific notation is -11. The non-zero number excluding the first digit will be written in the decimal point.

= 9.3 x 10^-11

Final answer:

= 9.3 x 10^-11
