Question

Can some please show me how to write this in standard form? (4 x 10^2)(1 x 10^3)(5 x 10^-4)

Answer 1

the bases are: 4, 1, 5

multiply them out to get 4*1*5 = 20

the exponents are: 2, 3, -4

add them to get: 2+3+(-4) = 1

Answer 2

so

(4 x 10^2)(1 x 10^3)(5 x 10^-4) = 20 x 10^1

you can optionally convert this to scientific notation if you want, but ultimately you'll need to convert to standard form

Answer 3

So how is tis standard form

Answer 4

it's not, you need to convert 20 x 10^1 to standard form
