Solution

Solution Steps

To convert a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, you need to move the decimal point to the left or right based on the exponent. For $8.4 \times 10^{-1}$, move the decimal point one place to the left.

Step 1: Understand the Scientific Notation

The given number is $8.4 \times 10^{-1}$. This means we need to move the decimal point one place to the left.

Step 2: Convert to Decimal Notation

Moving the decimal point one place to the left, we get: \[ 8.4 \times 10^{-1} = 0.84 \]
