Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert scientific notation to decimal representation, we need to move the decimal point to the right or left based on the exponent.

In this case, we have a negative exponent (-1S1S1P0S1U1P17S1S1P0), which means we need to move the decimal point to the left.

Starting with 1.201, we move the decimal 1 place to the left:

0.1201

Then we move the decimal point 17 more places to the left (since there are 17 zeros in the exponent):

0.0000001201

Therefore, the correct decimal representation is C) 0.0000001201.
