Comment on "standard form"

In the US, a number is in standard form if it is written as a sequence of decimal digits and a decimal point (if there is a fractional part), usually with no leading zeros (left of the decimal point). The sign is prepended to that digit string, as shown above.

In the UK, a number is in standard form if it is written in "scientific notation." The rule for writing a number in standard form is that first you write down a number between 1 and 10, then you write ×10(to the power of an integer). Usually powers of 0, or multipliers of 1, are not written. Then the number here is still -4.2, rather than -4.2×10⁰.

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
