Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert the number to scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point 10 places to the right because there are 10 zeros between the decimal point and the first non-zero digit. This gives us 1.20014. However, since we moved the decimal point to the right, we need to multiply by a negative power of 10 to compensate, which gives us the final answer of $1.20014 \times 10^{-8}$.
