express the following in standard form.

Question

5.2 x 10^3

Answer 1

The number $5.2\times {10}^3$ is already in standard form.

In standard form, a number is typically expressed as $a\times {10}^n$, where $1\le a<10$ and $n$ is an integer. In this case:

• $a=5.2$
• $n=3$

If you need to write it in decimal form, it would be $5200$.
