Answer:
5.2 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
a number in scientific notation is expressed as
a × [tex]10^{n}[/tex]
where 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer
write 0.0052 as a number between 1 and 10, that is 5.2
we have to the move the decimal point 3 places to the left to retain it's value
3 places left means n is - 3
0.0052 = 5.2 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex]
