Which is correct if 0.01234 is rewritten in scientific notation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To write 0.01234 in scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until we have a number between 1 and 10. This requires us to move the decimal point four places to the right, giving us 1.234. The exponent of 10 is equal to the number of places we moved the decimal point, but since we moved it to the right, the exponent is negative. Therefore, the answer is 1.234 × 10^-2 or 1.234E-2, which is closest to choice E.
