Answer:
0.000 008 54 = 8.54 x [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
here is the deal / the rules for scientific notation
1) the number in front of the [tex]10^{x}[/tex] has to be [tex]\geq[/tex] 1 and < 9
that rule is VERY IMPORTANT... [tex]\geq[/tex] 1 and < 9
2) if you move a decimal point to the left the exponent goes up by one
3) if you move the decimal to the right it goes down by one
examples:
314,000,000,000
starting from the right we move the decimal "11" positions to get to
3.14 (notice that I can not stop at 31.4 because that is greater than 10)
so the answer would be 3.14 x [tex]10^{11}[/tex]
your question 0.000 008 54 has to move the decimal SIX positions to
the the right (-6) ... 8.54 x [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]
