Express the number using scientific notation: 0.000000067

Select one:

O a. 67 x 10-7

O b. 6.7 x 10-7

O c. can not be written in scientific form

O d. 6.7 x 10 - 8

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

To express this number in scientific notation, we want to move the decimal so that it goes past the first nonzero integer. In this case, we would move it to the right 8 times.

6.7*10⁻⁸

The only reason why the 8 is negative is because when you write the scientific notation in standard form, you will need to move the decimal to the left in order to get 0.000000067. Negative means moving to the left. Therefore, 6.7*10⁻⁸ is our correct answer.
