To write 0.000456 in scientific notation, you need to express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
1. Move the decimal point in 0.000456 to the right until there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal. In this case, you move it 4 places to the right:
\( 0.000456 = 4.56 \)
2. Since you moved the decimal 4 places to the right, you will represent this with a negative exponent:
\( 4.56 \times 10^{-4} \)
Therefore, 0.000456 in scientific notation is:
**4.56 × 10^{-4}**
