Because we do not need to move the decimal point we can multiply this term by $1$ $1$ or $10^{0}$ $10^0$

$7.5 = 7.5 \times 10^{0}$ $7.5 = 7.5 xx 10^0$ in scientific notation.

$7.5 \times 10^{0}$ $7.5xx10^0$

Explanation:

A number expressed in $scientific notation$ $color(blue)"scientific notation"$ has the form.

$color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(axx10^n)color(white)(2/2)|)))$

where $1<=a<10" and n is an integer"$

$7.5" is in this interval so requires no adjustment"$

$color(orange)"Reminder " a^0=1$

$rArr7.5$

$=7.5xx1$

$=7.5xx10^0$
