Answer:
In scientific notation, the number in front of a decimal must be a digit. In other words, the number cannot be larger than 9.
The number 0.0000078's scientific notation would be [tex]7.8 * 10^-^6[/tex]
In scientific notation, when the exponent is negative, you move the decimal to the left.
When the decimal is positive, you move the decimal to the right.
Since the exponent is -6, I will move the decimal in 7.8 6 times to the left.
7.8's decimal moved 6 times to left is equal to 0.0000078.
Therefore, the scientific notation for 0.0000078 is [tex]7.8*10^-^6[/tex]
**STANDARD FORM: 0.0000078
**SCIENTIFIC NOTATION: [tex]7.8*10^-^6[/tex]
