Yes, I'm sure. To convert 0.001429 to scientific notation, you move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10:

  1. Move the decimal point three places to the right, which gives you 1.429.
  2. Since you moved the decimal point three places to the right, you multiply by \(10^{-3}\) to indicate the reduction in magnitude.

Thus, 0.001429 is correctly expressed in scientific notation as:

\[ 1.429 \times 10^{-3} \]
