Answer 1

5.93e-5 means \(5.93\times 10^{-5}\).
What definition of "standard form" are you using?
(This number goes by lots of different names.)

Answer 2

One name you might want is the decimal name.
Since you have \(10^{-5}\), you'll move the decimal point five places to the left.
So, \[\text{5.93e-5} = 5.93\times10^{-5} = 0.0000593\]
