Question

Please help me solve this problem. Could you also explain the steps clearly aswell?

Answer 1

Given:

`9.03*10^2`

Required: To rewrite the given number in standard form to standard decimal notation form.

This is explained thus:

We know that to convert to decimal notation form, we observe the power of 10 in standard form.

If the power is positive, we shift the decimal point forward while if the number is negative, we shift the decimal point backward.

Therefore, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 9.03*10^2 \\ \text{ We shift the decimal point to the right \lparen forward\rparen } \\ \Rightarrow903 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is:

`903`
