The number 6.5438 in scientific notation is expressed as \( 6.5438 \times 10^0 \). In scientific notation, the number is written as a product of a number (between 1 and 10) and a power of 10. Since 6.5438 is already between 1 and 10, it is multiplied by \( 10^0 \), which equals 1.

0.00000005732

The number \(0.00000005732\) in scientific notation is expressed as \(5.732 \times 10^{-8}\).

Here's how it's derived:

  1. Move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, moving it 8 places to the right gives us \(5.732\).
  2. Since we moved the decimal to the right, the exponent of 10 will be negative, indicating how many places we moved it.

Thus, \(0.00000005732 = 5.732 \times 10^{-8}\).
