Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To write a number in standard form, we need to express it as a decimal number multiplied by a power of 10. In this case, we have the number 7.1 * 10^4.

To convert this number to standard form:
1. Write down the decimal number without the trailing zeros: 7.1.
2. Count the number of places the decimal point needs to move to the right to get the original value. In this case, it needs to move four places.
3. Add the power of 10 as an exponent to the decimal number. In this case, the exponent is 4.
So, 7.1 * 10^4 is the number written in standard form.
