The power of ten indicates how many places the decimal point was moved. The decimal number 0.00000065 written in scientific notation would be 6.5x10 -7 because the decimal point was moved 7 places to the right to form the number 6.5. A decimal number smaller than 1 can be converted to scientific notation by decreasing the power of ten by one for each place the decimal point is moved to the right. Scientific notation numbers may be written in different forms. You have correct and incorrect.
