Answer:
[tex]0.00074m[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex]7.4*10^{-4}m[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]0.00074m[/tex]
Required
Express as scientific notation
The scientific notation of a number is: [tex]a * 10^{b}[/tex]
Where [tex]1 \le a \le 9[/tex]
This implies that:
[tex]0.00074m = 7.4 * 10^b[/tex]
Next, is to determine the value of b.
Count the number of point to move from the current point location to 7.4.
If the point moves backward, b will be negative, else b will be positive.
So:
[tex]0.00074m[/tex] [tex]b=-4[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]0.00074m[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex]7.4*10^{-4}m[/tex]
