To understand what "5.6x10^4" means, let's break it down:
In scientific notation, numbers are written in the form of "a × 10^n," where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (excluding 10), and "n" is an integer. This notation helps to express very large or very small numbers in a concise way.
In your given value, "5.6x10^4," the 10^4 represents the exponent, which indicates the number of times 10 should be multiplied by itself. In this case, it means 10 raised to the power of 4.
Now, let's calculate the value:
Start with the base number, "5.6." Multiply this number by 10 raised to the power of 4.
5.6 × 10^4 = 5.6 × (10 × 10 × 10 × 10)
= 5.6 × 10,000
= 56,000
Therefore, 5.6x10^4 is equal to 56,000.

The term "mu" is often used to represent the Greek letter "μ" which is the symbol for "micro" in the metric system. "Micro" denotes a factor of 10^-6, which means multiplying by 0.000001.
So, to convert 5.6x10^4 mu to a regular number, you would multiply it by 0.000001:
5.6x10^4 mu = 5.6x10^4 * 0.000001
To simplify this calculation, you can multiply the coefficients (5.6 * 0.000001) and add the exponents of 10 (4 + (-6)):
5.6x10^4 mu = 5.6 * (10^4 * 0.000001)
Simplifying further:
5.6x10^4 mu = 5.6 * 10^(-2)
Therefore, 5.6x10^4 mu is equivalent to 5.6 * 10^(-2) or simply 0.056.
