To write a number in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of it. In this case, we can move the decimal point two places to the right to get 5.9708. This is equivalent to multiplying by 100, or 10². Therefore, the scientific notation is 5.9708 × 10².
