10. Write the number in standard notation.

[tex]$4.16 \times 10^{-5}$[/tex]

A. 0.0000416
B. 0.000416
C. -208
D. 0.00000416



Answer :

Certainly! To convert the number [tex]\(4.16 \times 10^{-5}\)[/tex] to standard notation, follow these steps:

1. Understand that the exponent [tex]\(-5\)[/tex] indicates that the decimal point should be moved 5 places to the left.

2. Start with the number 4.16.

3. Move the decimal point 5 places to the left. To make the number smaller, each move of the decimal point adds a zero in front of the number:
- Moving one place: [tex]\(0.416\)[/tex]
- Moving two places: [tex]\(0.0416\)[/tex]
- Moving three places: [tex]\(0.00416\)[/tex]
- Moving four places: [tex]\(0.000416\)[/tex]
- Moving five places: [tex]\(0.0000416\)[/tex]

So, [tex]\(4.16 \times 10^{-5}\)[/tex] in standard notation is [tex]\(0.0000416\)[/tex].

Hence, the correct answer is [tex]\(0.0000416\)[/tex].
