Answer

$a. 0.0009062$ $b. 8002000$

Work Step by Step

a. $9.062×10^{-4}$ Since the power of base 10 has a negative value, the decimal point will be moved to the left. The decimal point should move 4 places to the left, hence, having a value of $0.0009062$. b. $8.002×10^{6}$ Since the power of base 10 has a positive value, the decimal point will be moved to the right. The decimal point should move 6 places to the right, hence, having a value of $8002000$.
