Answer 1

Answer 2

The goal of scientific notation is to simplify your number to one that is between 1 & 10, witch means converting 34.573 to 3.4573. Scientific notation looks like this y * 10^x. The exponent you see is how many times you moved the decimal point. You get a positive exponent when you move it to the left (big numbers), negative when you move it to the right(small numbers). So your answer should be 34.573 = 3.4573 x 10^1. I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
