To find the amount in the form of a×10^n, we need to round $15,528.23 to the nearest place value and determine the value of a and n.

After 10 years of monthly $100 deposits at a 5% interest compounded monthly, we can use the formula for compound interest:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:
A = the future value of the investment
P = the principal amount (monthly deposit)
r = annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal)
n = number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = number of years the money is compounded for

Given:
P = $100
r = 5% = 0.05
n = 12 (since the interest is compounded monthly)
t = 10

Plugging in these values in the compound interest formula, we can solve for A:

A = 100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
A ≈ 100(1.004167)^(120)
A ≈ 125.8232

Rounding this value to the nearest place value, we get $125.82.

To express $125.82 in the form of a×10^n, we need to determine the value of a and n.

$125.82 = a×10^n

To express $125.82 in scientific notation, we shift the decimal point to the left until it is between 1 and 10. In this case, we shift the decimal point 2 places to the left, giving us 1.2582.

Therefore, $125.82 can be expressed as 1.2582×10^2.
