Answer 1

The correct answer would be 5.43 x 10^-4

Answer 2

Answer : The given number in scientific notation will be,
`5.43* 10^(-4)`

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as
`5.0* 10^3`

889.9 is written as
`8.899* 10^(-2)`

As we are given that the number is, 0.000543

This number is written in scientific notation as :

`5.43* 10^(-4)`

Hence, the given number in scientific notation will be,
`5.43* 10^(-4)`
