Question
Write 0.000000065 in scientific notation.(1 point)

Answer 1

To write \(0.000000065\) in scientific notation, you express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

First, identify the significant figures in the number:

- The number \(0.000000065\) can be written as \(6.5\) (since we need to move the decimal point 8 places to the right to get it between 1 and 10).

Now, because we moved the decimal point 8 places to the right, we express this as a negative exponent of 10:

\[
0.000000065 = 6.5 \times 10^{-8}
\]

Thus, \(0.000000065\) in scientific notation is \(6.5 \times 10^{-8}\).
