there is just an easier way of writing a large number in scientific notation by placing times 10 then a negative or positive exponent compared to a large number
The problem you have shown is in scientific notation, in standard notation, you're looking at 34.
If the exponent is positive, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent. If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the number of the exponent.Examples:2.5 x 103 is 2500 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the right 3 spaces.)4.9 x 10-5 is 0.000049 in standard notation. (Move the decimal to the left 5 spaces.)

5E-5 is scientific notation representing the number 5 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of -5. This can be expanded to 0.00005 in standard decimal notation. The "E" in 5E-5 stands for exponent, indicating the number of decimal places the decimal point should be moved to the left (negative exponent) or right (positive exponent).
