I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct my response.
No, 7.0 x 10^-4 is not in proper scientific notation. In scientific notation, the first number should be between 1 and 10, and the power of 10 should indicate how many places the decimal point needs to be moved to get back to the original number.
Therefore, 7.0 x 10^-4 can be written in scientific notation as 7.0 x 10^-4 = 7.0 x 0.0001 = 0.0007.
