The number \(2.71 \times 10^4\) is already in standard form. In standard scientific notation, a number is expressed as a coefficient (between 1 and 10) multiplied by 10 raised to an integer power.
In this case:
- Coefficient: \(2.71\) (which is between 1 and 10)
- Exponent: \(4\)
Thus, \(2.71 \times 10^4\) is indeed in standard form. If you wanted to express it in decimal form, it would be \(27100\).
