Question

Express in scientific notation. Make sure your answer has the same number of significant figures as the starting value.

0.01325 = _____



1.325 x 10-2

1.0 x 10-2

1.3 x 10-2

Answer 1

For every numeral that you move to the right with a decimal point, you have another negative power of ten.

Online "^" is used to indicate an exponent, e.g., x^2 = x squared.

Ten to the minus two power is written 10^-2. This way, it will not be confused with ten minus two.
