Write the number 5, point, 8, times, 10, to the power 55.8×10
5
in standard form.
5.8 x 10^55
To write the number 5.8 times 10 to the power of 55, or 5.8 × 10^55, in standard form, follow these steps:
Step 1: Move the decimal point in 5.8 to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10. In this case, the decimal point is already after the digit 8, so no need to move it.
Step 2: Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. Here, the decimal point didn't move.
Step 3: Write the final result by putting the digit(s) you obtained in step 1 before the multiplication symbol (×), and then write 10 raised to the power of the number obtained in step 2.
Therefore, the standard form of 5.8 × 10^55 is 5.8 × 10^55.
To write the number in standard form, we need to multiply the value before the decimal point by 10 raised to the power of the value after the decimal point.
Given: 5.8 × 10^55
Step 1: Multiply 5.8 by 10^55.
5.8 × 10^55 = 58 × 10^54
Step 2: Rewrite 58 × 10^54 in standard form.
Standard form requires the coefficient to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. In this case, 58 is already within the required range.
Therefore, 5.8 × 10^55 equals 58 × 10^54 in standard form.
