write 9.55 times 10^-8 in standard form

2 answers

To write \( 9.55 \times 10^{-8} \) in standard (decimal) form, shift the decimal point in \( 9.55 \) eight places to the left because of the negative exponent.

Starting with \( 9.55 \):

  • Moving the decimal point 1 place left gives \( 0.955 \)
  • Moving it 2 places left gives \( 0.0955 \)
  • Moving it 3 places left gives \( 0.00955 \)
  • Moving it 4 places left gives \( 0.000955 \)
  • Moving it 5 places left gives \( 0.0000955 \)
  • Moving it 6 places left gives \( 0.00000955 \)
  • Moving it 7 places left gives \( 0.000000955 \)
  • Moving it 8 places left gives \( 0.0000000955 \)

So, \( 9.55 \times 10^{-8} \) in standard form is \( 0.0000000955 \).

Which sign makes the statement true.
0.000090 times 10^-10 ? 9.0 times 10^-14
