Full solution

Q. Write in standard form:\newline1.87×101 1.87 \times 10^{1}
  1. Identify Standard Form: Identify the definition of standard form for a number.\newlineStandard form for a number is typically written as a×10na \times 10^n, where 1a<101 \leq a < 10 and nn is an integer. In this case, we need to check if 1.871.87 fits the criteria for 'aa'.
  2. Multiply by 1010: Multiply 1.871.87 by 10110^1 to convert it into standard form.\newlineSince 1.871.87 is already between 11 and 1010, and 10110^1 is 1010, we simply perform the multiplication: 1.87×10=18.71.87 \times 10 = 18.7.
  3. Check Result: Check if the result, 18.718.7, is in standard form.\newlineThe result 18.718.7 is not in standard form because it is not between 11 and 1010. We need to adjust it to fit the standard form criteria.
  4. Adjust to Standard Form: Adjust the number to fit the standard form criteria.\newlineTo write 18.718.7 in standard form, we need to move the decimal point one place to the left to make the number between 11 and 1010. This gives us 1.871.87, and since we moved the decimal point one place to the left, we need to increase the exponent by 11: 1.87×1021.87 \times 10^2.
