Write the following expression in standard form negative 3x10 negative 2

The given expression is:

\[
-3 \times 10^{-2}
\]

To write this in standard form (as a decimal number), we move the decimal point two places to the left (since the exponent is \(-2\)):

\[
-3 \times 10^{-2} = -0.03
\]

Thus, the expression in standard form is:

\[
-0.03
\]

4. How would you express \( 4.5 \times 10^3 \) in standard form?
5. What is the significance of the exponent in scientific notation?

**Tip:** When the exponent is negative in scientific notation, it means you divide by that power of 10 (move the decimal point to the left).
