For this case, the first thing we must do is define the scientific notation.
We have then:
Scientific notation is a way of writing numbers too big or small in a conventional way.
A number written in scientific notation has the following form:
\(m * 10 ^ e
\)
Where,
m: it is called matinsa
e: it is the order of magnitude
Therefore, for the given number we have that the scientific notation is:
\(0.000028 = 2.8 * 10 ^ {-5}
\)
Answer:
the power of 10 when 0.000028 is written in scientific notation is:
-5
