Transcript text: Convert the following in scientific notation to standard notation:
5. $9.8 \times 10^{-9}$
Solution
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.
Step 1: Understand the Scientific Notation
The given number in scientific notation is \(9.8 \times 10^{-9}\). This means we need to multiply 9.8 by \(10^{-9}\).
Step 2: Convert to Standard Notation
To convert \(9.8 \times 10^{-9}\) to standard notation, perform the multiplication:
\[ 9.8 \times 10^{-9} = 0.0000000098 \]
Final Answer
The number \(9.8 \times 10^{-9}\) in standard notation is \(\boxed{0.0000000098}\).
