Question: what is the difference between standard form and exponential form?
Answer: If a quantity is written as the product of a power of 10 and a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, then the quantity is said to be expressed in standard form (or scientific notation). It is also known as exponential form. Note that we have expressed 65 as a product of 6.5 and a power of 10.
