Convert to Scientific Notation (510^-5)+(2.4610^-3)

$(5 \cdot 10^{- 5}) + (2.46 \cdot 10^{- 3})$

Step 1

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the $10$ . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
