QuestionConvert -0.000354 to scientific notation.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number to be converted is $-0.000354$ . We want to convert this number to scientific notation3. In scientific notation, a number is represented as $a \times10^n$ where $1 \leq |a| <10$ and $n$ is an integer

STEP 2

We need to move the decimal point in $-0.000354$ to the right until we have a number between1 and10. Count the number of places you move the decimal point. This will be the exponent $n$ in $10^n$ .

STEP 3

Moving the decimal point places to the right, we get $-3.54$ . The number of places we moved the decimal point is, so $n = -$ .

STEP 4

Now, we can write $-0.000354$ in scientific notation as $-3.54 \times10^{-4}$ .
So, $-0.000354$ in scientific notation is $-3.54 \times10^{-4}$ .
