Final answer:

To express 9.32 × 10⁹ in decimal notation, move the decimal point 9 places to the right, resulting in the number 9320000000, which does not match any of the options (A-D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 9.32 × 10⁹ in decimal notation is written simply as “9320000000” (9.32 billion). To convert a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, you move the decimal point to the right for positive exponents, giving you the actual number. No options (A-D) provided match this value.

Let's explore some of the examples:

  • 6.022 × 10²³ in standard notation is 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000.
  • 1.673 × 10⁻²⁴ in standard notation is 0.000000000000000000001673.
  • When expressing numbers in standard notation like 3.088 × 10⁻µ, you'll need to shift the decimal point 5 places to the left resulting in “0.00003088”.

Remember, scientific notation is helpful for expressing very large or small numbers in a more compact form. For example, 2.386 × 10³ is the scientific notation for the number 2386.
