A scientist measured the wavelength of an X-ray as 0.0000000065 meters.
Write the number in scientific notation.

6.5 * 10 ^ -9

Step-by-step explanation:

0.0000000065

Scientific notation means a* 10 ^b

where a  is number between 1 and less than 10

Move the decimal  9 places to the right which means the power of 10 is negative since we moved the decimal to the right

6.5

The power of 10 is -9

6.5 * 10 ^ -9

6.5 * 10^-9 metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is < 1 so the exponent is negative

We count the number of digits after the decimal point up to and including the first digit > 0.

This is 9 digits.

So the answer is 6.5 * 10^-9.

36

step-by-step explanation:

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
