To simplify the given expression and write in scientific notation, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the coefficient 5.8 by 2.3, which gives 2.52.
Step 2: Divide the powers of 10 by subtracting the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, which gives 10^(-9 - 4) = 10^-13.
Step 3: Write the answer as the product of the coefficient and the power of 10 in scientific notation, i.e., 2.52 x 10^-13.
Therefore, the answer is option C: 2.5 x 10^-13.
