On my syllabus for chemistry, the bellwork problem for tomorrow is: Write 5.0 x 10 in standard notation.
Isn't that already in standard notation since 5.0 is between 1 and 10? Would the answer be that it already is? Or am I missing something. If I'm wrong, correct my answer and give me your reasoning, or some sort of explanation.
Thanks.

I don't think my teacher made a mistake. I was thinking more along the lines that she was trying to catch us off guard or confuse us.

I think that's it. Maybe the prof wrote the answer instead of the question by accident?

5 x 10 to the first power

Maybe it's 50? Or it's 50 x 10^1? It's certainly not 5.0 squared.

Maybe you need the power of 1 on the 10?

think of of 40-one,000 as 41000.0 Now flow the decimal element to the left until you get it between the 4 and the a million. count variety the areas as you are trying this. 4.a million x 10^4 a. Now flow the decimal element to the amazing 5 areas. Fill in the sparkling spots with zeros. 820000 b. The adverse means purely skill that it is going to likely be a decimal variety. flow the decimal the contrary path. .000074
