How do you write 7.28 x 104 in standard form?

720 000
Explanation:
7.2
×
10
5
is already expressed in
standard form
I believe you mean express as
original number
To do this consider
10
5
or more generally
10
n
where n is an integer.
• If n > 0
move decimal point n places to the right
• If n < 0
move decimal point n places to the left
here n = 5 > 0, hence move decimal point 5 places to the right.
