Answer 1

The notation displayed by the calculator, \( 5E−7 \), is a representation of the number in scientific notation. In scientific notation, \( E \) indicates the exponent of 10.

So, \( 5E−7 \) is equivalent to \( 5 \times 10^{-7} \).

Therefore, the correct response is:

**5×10−7** (5 times 10 superscript negative 7 baseline)
