Scientific notation is a way of expressing numbers that are too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal form. This one is asking you to convert 5450 to scientific notation. Instead of solving this one, I'm going to solve a different one for you and see if you notice anything.
6920 in scientific notation is: 6.92 x 10^3
Notice how the decimal moves over 3 points and the 10 has an exponential value of 3.

Leiland was correct when he explained it to chu beforehand, but u somehow understood it wrong and asked if B was ze correct choice. Nu, ish not. Ze exponent would be negative if it was a smaller than 0 number, but since 5450 ish greater than 0, ze exponent will b positive. Therefore the only option to consider being correct ish A.
