Question

How do you write `9.3 xx 10 ^-5` in standard notation?

Answer 1

`9.3xx10^(-5) = 0.000093`

Explanation:

For a number in scientific notation:
`color(white)("XXX")a.b xx 10^k`
`k` indicates the number of places to the right the decimal point needs to be moved to write the number in normal form.
When `color(black)(k < 0)` then `abs(k)` is the number of places to the left the decimal point needs to be moved.
