To write the number 5.8 x 10^5 in standard form, we need to move the decimal point to the right five places. The standard form is:
580,000
To write the number 5.8 × 10^5 in standard form, you need to multiply the decimal part by the power of 10. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Take the number 5.8.
Step 2: Move the decimal point to the right until there is only one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point.
Step 3: In this case, you moved the decimal point 5 places to the right (since 5.8 becomes 580,000 when the decimal point is moved).
Step 4: Write the number you obtained (580,000) and multiply it by 10 raised to the power of the number of places you moved the decimal point in Step 3.
Step 5: Therefore, 5.8 × 10^5 in standard form is written as 580,000.
So, that's how you convert 5.8 × 10^5 to standard form.
