WRITING IN STANDARD FORM Write the number in standard form. \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { 19. } 3.03 \times 10^{4} & \text { 20. } 4.709 \times 10^{6} & \text { 21. } 1.544 \times 10^{10} \\ \text { 22. } 6.1 \times 10^{-3} & \text { 23. } 4.4 \times 10^{-10} & \text { 24. } 2.23 \times 10^{-6}\end{array} \)

To write the numbers in standard form, we need to express them as a product of a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of ten. For instance, \(3.03 \times 10^4\) means we move the decimal point in 3.03 four places to the right, which gives us 30,300. Similarly, \(4.709 \times 10^6\) becomes 4,709,000. Now, going the opposite direction for negative exponents: \(6.1 \times 10^{-3}\) means moving the decimal point three places to the left, resulting in 0.0061. For a tiny number like \(4.4 \times 10^{-10}\), we shift the decimal point ten places to the left, yielding 0.00000000044. It’s all about that decimal dance!
