To convert \( 0.0102 \times 10^{-3} \) into standard decimal notation, you can first rewrite it as follows:
- Move the decimal point in \( 0.0102 \) three places to the left (since you are multiplying by \( 10^{-3} \)):
- \( 0.0102 \) shifted left by three places becomes \( 0.0000102 \).
Thus, \( 0.0102 \times 10^{-3} \) in standard notation is \( 0.0000102 \), which can also be expressed as \( 1.02 \times 10^{-5} \).
