Exponential form is an odd form, usually only used in sciences for easily showing large or small numbers:
it is basically (a ones place number)* 10^X, where X is the numbers of places to the right from the original number
like so:
6 = 6 * 10^0 (or just 6), considering 6 has no changing places
but 60 = 6 * 10^1, considering 60 changes places 1 time left to 6, making it 1
if this were to be explained fully:
10^X would be 10 times itself as many times as the number above states (1 would be 10, 2 would be 10*10, 3 would be 10*10*10)
so then
6 * 10^1 = 6 * 10 = 60
ANY number ^0 would be = 1, cus at 1 = 10, then it would be 10*10 at 2, so reversing that, 0 would be 10/10, making 1.
even better, you can go negative, and negative one would be (10/10)/10, which makes 1/10.
Which means that the following are true:
600 = 6 * 10^2
60 = 6 * 10^1
6 = 6 * 10^0
.6 = 6 * 10^-1 (because it A: goes right -1 places, aka left 1; and B: 6 * 1/10 = .6)
.06 = 6 * 10^-2
.006 = 6 * 10^-3
and so on....
there is MUCH more to lear about exponential form (aka scientific notation), like the rules of adding them, subtracting them, multiplying, dividing, and i highly unlikely used, exponentials of them.
goodluck!

The square root of 6 squared [The square root of 6 ^2]
The square root of anything times itself is the number inside the square root.

6*10^0, or 6E+00 (60 is 6E+01) in "exponential notation"
or
6^1, 2^2.585, 10^0.778, e^1.792 in "exponential form"

6.0 * 10^0
but that's completely useless to say, I would just put 6.0
