Question 11
In standard form, the number 72105.4 is written as 7.21054×10n, where n is equal to
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5
We know that, if the given number is greater than or equal to 10, then the power of 10 (i.e. n) is a positive integer equal to the number of places the decimal point has been shifted.
Hence, 72105.4=7.21054×104
Thus, n = 4 .
