Expressing a very small number in scientific notation
To express 0.000 000 000 936 in scientific notation, the number can be written as 9.36 Ã 10^-10. This means that the decimal point is moved 10 places to the left to form a number between 1 and 10.
When we have a very small number like 0.000 000 000 936, we convert it to scientific notation by determining the value of the number without the scientific notation and the number of decimal places the decimal point moved to reach that value.
In this case, to reach the value of 9.36 with the decimal point before the 9, it had to be moved 10 places to the left. Therefore, the scientific notation for 0.000 000 000 936 is 9.36 Ã 10^-10.
