Question

Write this number in standard notation. 4.702 x 10^–4

Answer 1

0.0004702 I always learnt to do this by moving the the decimal point across (left in the case of a minus power) as many steps as the power

Answer 2

Answer: The number in standard notation will be 0.0004702

Explanation:

Standard notation is defined as the notation in which number is written in the simplest way.

If the number written in scientific notation has positive exponent on 10 as
`10^n`, the decimal point will move 'n' times to the right.

If the number written in scientific notation has negative exponent on 10 as
`10^(-n)`, the decimal point will move 'n' times to the left.

We are given a number which is
`4.702* 10^(-4)`

So, its value in standard notation will be 0.0004702
