    • 5430

    • 0.000543

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.000543
    Explanation
    To express a number in standard form, we need to write it in the form A × 10^B, where A is a number between 1 and 10, and B is an integer. In the given answer, 0.000543 can be written as 5.43 × 10^-4. This is because 0.000543 can be expressed as 5.43 multiplied by 10^-4, where 10^-4 is equivalent to dividing the number by 10,000.

    Express 4173 in scientific notation.

    Correct Answer
    A.
    Explanation
    4173 in scientific notation is expressed as 4.173 x 10^3. This is because scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are very large or very small in a more compact form. In this case, 4173 is written as 4.173 with the decimal point shifted three places to the left, and then multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 3.
