                Write 95.43×10^-4 in scientific notation.
Since we need to have the decimal place so that there is only one number on the left I guess I do this:
9.543
And to get back to where I was I need to go -1
So would this be the right answer:
9.543×10^1
I'm confused may you please help me

When you move the decimal place to the right you add to the -4. i.e. (-4+1)
If it would have been to the left you would have subtracted from the -4. i.e. (-4-1)

    the given explanation is reversed
when the coefficient is changed by moving the decimal point, the exponent is changed to keep the overall value the same
bigger coefficient means smaller exponent ... and vice versa
