4 * 10-5 cm in scientific notation

400000

Explanation:

First, figure out what 10^5 is. It is 100000. Then multiply it by 4 and there is your answer!

Also if it is 4x10^-5, it is 0.00004!

Oh yeah! If you want it to be in scientific notation, it is: 4x10^5

Since that I didn't quite understand what you are trying to question, it is either 4x10^5 or 4x10^-5!
