To write the number 0.022 in scientific notation, follow these steps:

Step 1: Identify the first non-zero digit in the number, which is 2.

Step 2: Determine the decimal point's position by counting the number of places you moved it to the right to get the number from its original form (0.022).

In this case, you moved the decimal point two places to the right, so the decimal point's position is -2.

Step 3: Write the number in the form of a * 10^b, where "a" is the number without the decimal point and "b" is the decimal point's position.

Putting it all together, the number 0.022 in scientific notation is written as 2.2 x 10^-2.

Yes, I can help you with that. To write the number 0.022 in scientific notation, we need to consider the following steps:

1. Identify the non-zero digits: In this case, the non-zero digits are 2 and 2.

2. Count the number of decimal places from the original number to the non-zero digits: In this case, there are two decimal places between the original number and the non-zero digits.

3. Write the non-zero digits as a decimal number between 1 and 10: The non-zero digits are 2 and 2, so the decimal number will be 2.2.

4. Determine the exponent: The exponent represents the number of decimal places we moved to the left or right. In this case, we moved two decimal places to the left, so the exponent will be -2.

5. Write the number in scientific notation: Combining the decimal number and exponent, we can write 0.022 in scientific notation as 2.2 × 10^(-2).

So, the number 0.022 can be written as 2.2 × 10^(-2) in scientific notation.
