How do you write 4.6 × 102 in standard form?

Answer 1

To write \(4.6 \times 10^2\) in standard form, you need to move the decimal point in \(4.6\) two places to the right (since the exponent of 10 is positive).

Starting with \(4.6\):

1. Move the decimal point one place to the right: \(46\)
2. Move it another place to the right: \(460\)

So, \(4.6 \times 10^2\) in standard form is \(460\).
