Answer 2

The standard form of the given number is 7.2 × 10-⁵.

• The standard form of a number is any number than can be represented as a decimal number between 1.0 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
• It is the simplest way to represent an complex or very large numerical value. They represent numbers in the rational form.
• For the given number 0.000072, we have to shift the decimal point five times to the left. This is because atleast one non-zero number should be present before the decimal.
• On shifting the decimal point, the number of places moved is represented as power of 10.
• Hence, standard form of 0.000072 is 7.2 × 10-⁵.
