Is 34000 written in standard form?

Answer 1

Yes, 34000 is written in standard form. Standard form refers to the numerical format where a number is written as a single non-zero digit, followed by any number of zeros. In this case, the number 34000 is written as 3.4 x 10^4 in scientific notation, which is another way of representing the same value in a more compact form.

Answer 2

Ironically, "standard form" is not a standard term: it can mean different things. According to one definition, the answer is yes but according another definition, it should be 3.4*104.
