Question

express the following in standard form.
9.65 x 10^-4

Answer 1

The number \( 9.65 \times 10^{-4} \) is already in standard form.

In general, a number is expressed in standard form as \( a \times 10^n \), where \( 1 \leq |a| < 10 \) and \( n \) is an integer.

For \( 9.65 \times 10^{-4} \):
- \( a = 9.65 \)
- \( n = -4 \)

Thus, it is correctly expressed in standard form. If you want to convert it to decimal form, it would be \( 0.000965 \).
