Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To express 0.0970 in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. This gives us 9.70. The number of decimal places we moved the decimal point is 3, so we need to multiply by 10^-3. Putting this together, we get 9.70 × 10^-3, which is equivalent to 9.70 × 10^-2 after simplification. Choice C is the only option that matches this result.
