A tissue can be 0.000075 in scientific notation.



A. 7.5 x 10 to the 5th power

B. 7.5 x 10 to the negative fifth power(I chose this one)

C. 75 x 10 to the sixth power

D. 75 x 10 to the negative sixth power

I really need to learn this. Why would it be b instead of D, they both work. Or the other way around.
Will give brainliest

To turn a number into scientific notation, move the decimal point so that there is only 1 number to the left of the decimal point.

Count the number of spaces you moved the decimal point.

If you move the decimal point to the right, the exponent is negative, if you move it to the left the exponent is positive.

0.000075

You need to move the decimal point 5 places to the right to get 7.5

Because it was moved to the right, the exponent is negative 5

The answer would be 7.5 x 10^-5 which is B.
