1 answer

To convert the number \(2.4 \times 10^{-4}\) into standard notation, you need to move the decimal point in the number \(2.4\) four places to the left because the exponent is negative.

Starting with \(2.4\):

  1. Move the decimal point one place to the left: \(0.24\)
  2. Move it a second place: \(0.024\)
  3. Move it a third place: \(0.0024\)
  4. Move it a fourth place: \(0.00024\)

So, \(2.4 \times 10^{-4} = 0.00024\).

Therefore, the value in standard notation is:

\[ 0.00024 \]
