For this case we have the following number:

50,000
To rewrite the number we can use the exponential notation as follows:

a * 10 ^ b
Where,
a: is the first digit of the number from left to right
b: is the number of times you must move the decimal to simplify the expression.
So we have to use the definition:

50,000 = 5 * 10 ^ 4
Answer:
Using scientific notation we have:

50,000 = 5 * 10 ^ 4
