Answer 4

If you have to find the scientific notation of 500, for example, make a table.

\(\begin{array}{l|r} 500 & 1 \\ \hline 50.0&10 \\ \hline 5.00& 100 \end{array}\)

If you notice, you multiply all the rows and you get 500.

Answer 5

When you have reached to a point like \(5.00 \times 100\), then just express the right one in exponent with base 10.
100 = 10^2

Answer 6

You finish with \(5.00 \times 10^2\)
