turn 0.000000014 into a scientific notation
You asked:
Express \(0.000000014\) in scientific notation.
MathBot Answer:
Scientific notation is a way of representing a number in the form $a \times 10^{b}$ where $1 \le |a| \lt 10$ and $b$ is an integer. $a$ should not include any leading or trailing zeroes.
The value of $b$ can be found by determining the power of ten that the number can be divided by to bring its value into the specified range.
\(0.000000014 = 1.4 \times \frac{1}{100000000} = 1.4 \times 10^{-8}\)
