Type the number \( 8.75 \times 10^{-4} \) in standard notation. Express your answer using standard notation. View Available Hint(s) \( 8.75 \times 10^{-4}= \) Submit Previous Answers

To convert \( 8.75 \times 10^{-4} \) to standard notation, you move the decimal point in \( 8.75 \) four places to the left (because of the negative exponent). This results in \( 0.000875 \). So, in standard notation, \( 8.75 \times 10^{-4} = 0.000875 \). Keep in mind that moving the decimal to the left for a negative exponent decreases the value, while moving it right for a positive exponent would increase it. This is key to understanding how scientific notation works!
