Okay, here we have this:

We need to find the standard form of 4.5 x 10 to the power of 4. So, considering that standard form is like scientific notation where a number is represented as a decimal number times a power of 10.

So, applying the definition we obtain that the standard form is the following:


4.5\text{ x }10^4

Now, let's find the ordinary number:

So, considering that the power of 10 is 4, it means that the result will be to move the decimal point of 4.5 four units to the right, let's do it:


\begin{gathered} 4.5\text{ x }10^4 \\ =45000 \end{gathered}

Finally we obtain that the ordinary number is 45000.
