okay so standard form is basically the answer. once you find the answer, its already in standard form. exponents-the number above the coefficient (the number attached to the exponent) that shows the number of times you multiply the number. since the number 3 is attached to the exponent of 3, you multiply the original number by itself 3 times. 3×3×3=27 the sports card collector has 27 baseball cards. now you must apply this to the other equation. multiply 4 by itself 3 times. 4×4×4=64. the sports card collector has 64 football cards.
