How do you write 7.984 × 10–3 in standard form?

Answer 1

To write \( 7.984 \times 10^{-3} \) in standard form, you need to convert it to decimal form. The negative exponent indicates that you will move the decimal point three places to the left.

Starting with \( 7.984 \):

1. Move the decimal point three places to the left:
   • Move one place: 0.7984
   • Move two places: 0.07984
   • Move three places: 0.007984

So, \( 7.984 \times 10^{-3} \) in standard decimal form is \( 0.007984 \).
