Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a number involves expressing it as a single non-zero digit, followed by a decimal point, and then multiplied by a power of 10.
To convert 0.0056 into standard form:
1. Identify the non-zero digit: In this case, it's 5.
2. Move the decimal point to the right of this digit to make the number between 1 and 10.
3. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. Each movement to the right increases the exponent of 10 by one.
Therefore, in standard form, 0.0056 is expressed as \(5.6 \times 10^{-3}\).
