If the exponent is b, then you move the decimal point b places to the right - inserting zeros if necessary.
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).

59456.7x10 with an exponent of -1 in standard notation is 5,945.67
7.1x10 exponent 5 in standard notation is 710,000

Yes, but only to the power of 10. Scientific notation Ex: 4.6 x 10^6 (NOTE: ^ = exponent) The number in the 4.6 position has to be equal to or greater than 1 and less than 10. The number in the 10 position always has to be a 10. The number in the ^6 position tells how many places to move the decimal. If the exponent is positive the decimal moves to the right when you simplify into standard notation. If it is negative the decimal moves to the left when simplified into standard notation.
To change a number from standard to scientific notation, move the decimal point to create a number between 1 and 10. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point to get the power of 10. If you moved it to the left, the exponent is positive, and if you moved it to the right, the exponent is negative.
6.2x10 to the negative 5th power in standard notation = 0.000062
To convert (1.5 \times 10^3) to standard notation, you move the decimal point three places to the right, since the exponent is positive. This results in (1500). Therefore, (1.5 \times 10^3) in standard notation is (1500).
Move 3 decimal places to the right from the starting point, and you should get -3 as the exponent for base 10. Therefore, the term in scientific notation is: 5.219 x 10-3
