Answer to Problem 3.4E

  0.0125=1.25×102 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given number is 0.0125 .

Concept used:

Scientific notation is a standard way of writing very large and very small numbers so that they’re easier to both compare and use in computations. To write in scientific notation, follow the form N×10a

where  N  is a number between 1 and 10, but not 10 itself, and  a  is an integer (positive or negative number).

Calculation:

The given number is 0.0125 .

Move the decimal place to the right to create a new number from 1 up to 10.

As it is a whole number, the decimal point is understood to be at the end of the number: 0.0125 . So, N=1.25

Determine the exponent, which is the number of times you moved the decimal.

Moved the decimal 3 times, because moved the decimal to the right, the exponent is negative. Therefore,  a =3

Put the number in the correct form for scientific notation.

Therefore, N×10a=1.25×102

Hence, 0.0125=1.25×102 .
