Answer:


578.2* 10^(-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is the way of writing numbers which are either large or small. The number is written in the scientific notation when the number is between 1 and 10 and then multiplied by the power of 10. Engineering notation is the same version of the scientific notation but the number can be between 1 and 1000 and in this exponent of the ten is divisible by three.

For example,
1000^2 is to be written as
10^6 in engineering notation.

The given number:

0.00057824 can be written as
578.24* 10^(-6)

Answer upto 4 significant digits =
578.2* 10^(-6)
