Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is always written as a number between 1 and 9.999999.  The number after the decimal is shown by a power of 10.

so 0.05796 = 5.796 * 10^-2

which means that the decimal was moved to represent a number less than one. That's the point of the minus sign. The two comes from the number of places you have to shift the decimal to get a number between 1 and  10.
