Answer 1

To write \( 8.459 \times 10^{-5} \) in decimal form, you move the decimal point 5 places to the left.

Starting with 8.459:

1. Move the decimal point 1 place to the left: 0.8459
2. Move it 2 places: 0.08459
3. Move it 3 places: 0.008459
4. Move it 4 places: 0.0008459
5. Move it 5 places: 0.00008459

So, \( 8.459 \times 10^{-5} \) converts to 0.00008459.

Therefore, the correct response is: .00008459.
