Answer:
[tex]5x10^{-9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, the example is missing the negative sign.
This is an example of scientific notation, which is used to reduce a very large number into a short expression like: 0.000000005, which is reduced in the expression [tex]5x10^{-9}[/tex].
It's important to say that the negative sing in the exponent, indicates that all zeros that are being reduce, are placed at the right of the number. Also, to apply a correctly scientific notation, the number reduced should be between 0 and 10.
