9 x 10^-6 = 0.000009
4 x 10 ^-5 = 0.00004
soooo which is greater??
Answered by oobleck
nope.
the larger the negative exponent, the smaller the number
4x10^-5 = 0.00004
9x10^-6 = 0.000009

Better review your exponents some more.

It would actually be 4x10^-5 because that's closer to zero than 9x10^-6. Usually a good rule of thumb.

Answered by henry2,
9*10^-6 = 0.9*10^-5.
4*10^-5 > 0.9*10^-5.
