2.94×106
2 point 9 4 times 10 to the 6th power

2.94×10−4
2 point 9 4 times 10 to the negative 4 power

It is already in Scientific notation because the coefficient is being multiplied by a power of 10.

Answer 1

To convert the expression \( 29.4 \times 10^{-5} \) into scientific notation, we need to adjust the coefficient (which should be between 1 and 10).

1. Move the decimal point in 29.4 one place to the left to get 2.94.
2. Since we moved the decimal one place to the left, we need to adjust the exponent on the power of 10 by adding 1 to it. Thus, \( -5 + 1 = -4 \).

This gives us:

\[ 2.94 \times 10^{-4} \]

So the correct answer is:

2.94×10−4 (2 point 9 4 times 10 to the negative 4 power)
