Answer:

6.72*10¹²= 6,720,000,000,000 in standard form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten.

The numbers are written as a product:

a * 10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.
  • n is an integer called an exponent. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. If the exponent is positive, move the decimal point to the right. And if the exponent is negative, move the decimal point to the left.

In this case 12 is a positive number, so the decimal point is shifted to the right 12 places.

So, 6.72*10¹²= 6,720,000,000,000 in standard form.
