Question

Convert the number to standard form.

8.71 xx10^(12)

Answer 1

To convert a number to standard form, multiply the decimal number by a power of 10. In this case, 8.71 x 10^12 can be written as 8,710,000,000,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a number to standard form, we need to rewrite it as a decimal number multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, we have 8.71 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 12. To convert it to standard form, we can write it as 8,710,000,000,000 or 8.71 x 1012.

Answer 2

8.71 xx10^(12)

The exponent is a positive number. This means the decimal point moves to the right by the number of the exponent.

There are two digits to the right of the decimal point, so to move the decimal 12 places, you would need to add 10 zeros.

8.71 x 10^12 becomes 8,710,000,000,000.
