Chapter 4.7, Problem 35E

To determine

To rewrite $3.0\times {10}^{-5}$ in standard form.

Answer to Problem 35E

  $0.00003$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Scientific notation $3.0\times {10}^{-5}$ to be changed to standard form.

Calculation:

To convert a scientific notation into standard format, expand the power of 10 and multiply it with the numeric component. If there is a negative power, divide the number and move the decimal subsequently left.

So, here, the given number is $3.0\times {10}^{-5}$ . Start moving the decimal point to the left and add zeros to the numeric value such that the exponent value is completely covered.

  $3.0\times {10}^{-5}$ can be written as $0.00003$ .

Conclusion:

  $0.00003$
