To express the number \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) in standard form, you will typically write it out in decimal form.

Here's how you can do it step-by-step:

  1. Understand the Scientific Notation: The scientific notation \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) means that you take the number \( 1.95 \) and multiply it by \( 10 \) raised to the power of \( 6 \).

  2. Multiply by Powers of 10: When you multiply by \( 10^6 \), you move the decimal point in \( 1.95 \) six places to the right.

  3. Adjust the Decimal Point:

    • Start with \( 1.95 \).
    • Move the decimal point 1 place to the right: \( 19.5 \)
    • Move the decimal point 2 places to the right: \( 195 \)
    • Move the decimal point 3 places to the right: \( 1950 \)
    • Move the decimal point 4 places to the right: \( 19500 \)
    • Move the decimal point 5 places to the right: \( 195000 \)
    • Move the decimal point 6 places to the right: \( 1950000 \)
  4. Final Result: Thus, \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) in standard decimal form is:

\[ 1,950,000 \]

This means that \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) equals \( 1,950,000 \).
