Answer 1

To convert \( 29.4 \times 10^{-5} \) into proper scientific notation, we need to express the coefficient (29.4) as a number between 1 and 10 and adjust the exponent accordingly.

1. Move the decimal point in 29.4 one place to the left to get 2.94.
2. Since we moved the decimal point one place to the left, we need to increase the exponent by 1, changing \( -5 \) to \( -4 \).

So, \[ 29.4 \times 10^{-5} = 2.94 \times 10^{-4} \]

Thus, the correct answer is: 2.94 × 10^(-4).
