To express the diameter of the bacterium, which is displayed as \(2E-6\) in scientific notation, we can interpret this as:
\( 2E-6 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \)
Thus, based on the output:
The size of the bacterium written in scientific notation would be:
\( 2 \) × \( 10^{-6} \) of a meter.
In standard form, the value \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) can be calculated as follows:
\[
2 \times 10^{-6} = 0.000002
\]
So, in standard form, the value would be represented as:
\( 0.000002 \).
To summarize the answers for the blanks:
1. **First blank:** \( 2 \)
2. **Second blank:** \( -6 \)
3. **Third blank:** \( 0.000002 \)
\( 2E-6 = 2 \times 10^{-6} \)
Thus, based on the output:
The size of the bacterium written in scientific notation would be:
\( 2 \) × \( 10^{-6} \) of a meter.
