Identifying the Equivalent Floating-Point Representation

<p>The number given in the image is \(2 \times 10^{-5}\).</p> <p>To express this number in the decimal form, we shift the decimal point 5 places to the left because the exponent is -5.</p> <p>Therefore, the equivalent floating-point representation is:</p> <p>\(0.00002\), which can be rewritten as \(0.2 \times 10^{-4}\).</p> <p>The correct answer is \(0.2 \times 10^{-4}\).</p>
