Question

Write the number 7.1 x 10⁻⁵ in standard form

Answer 1

.000071

Explanation:

7.1 x 10⁻⁵ = 00007.1 = .000071

Answer 2

Explanation:

10^-5 is .00001, If it was 10^5 it would be 100,000, but since it is negative, you will have to "flip" it around. 0.1 is 10^-1 10^-2 is .01, 10^-3 is .001 etc...

Now .00001 * 7.1 is just .000071

:) hope this helped.
