Answer 4

i got 3.42000=3.42x10^6

Answer 5

we have
\[\large 0.00342 \times 10^{-5}\]
notice that we already have a '-' sign with the 10 power
now I'll take the decimal point to one step right
doing so will decrease my power by 1
\[\large 0.00342 \times 10^{-5}=00.0342\times 10^{-5-1}\]
do you get this?

Answer 6

yea almost

Answer 7

exponent will be 4

Answer 8

\[\large -5-1=-6\]

Answer 9

Answer 10

it's not complete yet, shift once more the decimal point to the right
what do you get?
