22.1 to standard form

Solution

To convert 22.1 to standard form, also known as scientific notation, you follow these steps:

  1. Move the decimal point to create a number between 1 and 10. For 22.1, you move the decimal one place to the left:
    2.212.21

  2. Count how many places you moved the decimal. In this case, you moved it 1 place.

  3. Express the number as 2.21×1012.21 \times 10^1.

So, 22.1 in standard form is: 2.21×1012.21 \times 10^1
