Write 5.62*10^5 in standard form
To write 5.62*10^5 in standard form, we need to express it as a single number without any exponent.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the number, which is 5.62.
2. Multiply it by 10 raised to the power of 5. In math notation, this is expressed as 10^5.
3. In simple terms, multiplying a number by 10 raised to a power means moving the decimal point to the right by that many places. Since the exponent is positive in this case, we move the decimal point 5 places to the right.
- Starting with 5.62, move the decimal point 5 places to the right: 562,000.
4. The decimal point should end up after the first non-zero digit, so the final answer is 562,000.
Therefore, 5.62*10^5 in standard form is simply 562,000.
