Question

write 8.683×10⁻⁶ in standard notation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall scientific to standard

For \(a\times10^{-n}\), move decimal \(n\) places left. Here, \(n = 6\), so move decimal in \(8.683\) six places left.

Step2: Move the decimal

Start with \(8.683\). Moving decimal 6 places left: first, write \(8.683\) as \(000008.683\) (adding leading zeros), then move decimal 6 left: \(0.000008683\).

Answer:

\(0.000008683\)
