Questions: Convert the following in scientific notation to standard notation: 5. 9.8 × 10^-9

Solution Steps

To convert a number from scientific notation to standard notation, multiply the base number by 10 raised to the power of the exponent. In this case, multiply 9.8 by 10 raised to the power of -9.

The given number in scientific notation is \(9.8 \times 10^{-9}\). This means we need to multiply 9.8 by \(10^{-9}\).

To convert \(9.8 \times 10^{-9}\) to standard notation, perform the multiplication: \[ 9.8 \times 10^{-9} = 0.0000000098 \]
