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]
