Question

Write 2.3 x 10 to the power of 3 in decimal form

Answer 1

To express

`2.3*10^3`

The standard form is represented by

`A*10^n`

where

`A\text{ is a number in the range 1}\leq A<10`

and

`n=\text{the power of 10}`

In our case

`\begin{gathered} \text{For } \\ 2.3*10^n \\ A=2.3 \\ n=3 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the standard form in decimal is

`2.3*10^3=2.3*1000=2300`

The answer is 2300
