Answer:
[tex]9.8704 * 10^1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form is called the scientific notation expressed generally as;
[tex]A * 10^n[/tex]
A is an integer between 1 and 10
n is ant integer or fraction
Given the decimal value 98.704, we ill shift the decimal point to the back once to have;
98.704 = [tex]9.8704 * 10^1[/tex]
Note the when the decimal point is shifted backwards the value of n is always positive. Hence the expansion in power of 10 is [tex]9.8704 * 10^1[/tex]
