The image you've uploaded explains the concepts of
standard form and
expanded form for numbers. Let's break it down and solve the example given.
---
🔹 Standard Form
- This is the usual way we write numbers without using exponents.
- Example:
8120 is in standard form.
---
🔹 Expanded Form
- This shows the number as a sum of each digit multiplied by its place value (often using powers of 10).
- In this case, the number
8120 is broken down into:
$$
8000 + 100 + 20
$$
But let’s go deeper and express this
fully in expanded form with exponents, which is more precise.

✔ Step-by-step breakdown of 8120:
We look at each digit and its place value:
| Digit | Place Value | Value |
|-------|-------------|-------|
| 8 | Thousands | 8 × 1000 = 8000 |
| 1 | Hundreds | 1 × 100 = 100 |
| 2 | Tens | 2 × 10 = 20 |
| 0 | Ones | 0 × 1 = 0 |
So,
$$
8120 = 8000 + 100 + 20 + 0
$$
Now, using
exponents (powers of 10), we can write:
$$
8120 = 8 \times 10^3 + 1 \times 10^2 + 2 \times 10^1 + 0 \times 10^0
$$
This is the
expanded form using exponents.
---
✔ Final Answer:
-
Standard Form: 8120
-
Expanded Form (with exponents):
$$
8 \times 10^3 + 1 \times 10^2 + 2 \times 10^1 + 0 \times 10^0
$$
Or, simplified (without exponents):
$$
8000 + 100 + 20
$$
> Note: The example in the image shows the
expanded form without exponents, which is acceptable. But when using exponents, it's more complete and aligns with mathematical notation.

📌 Summary:
-
Standard form: 8120
-
Expanded form (no exponents): 8000 + 100 + 20
-
Expanded form (with exponents): $ 8 \times 10^3 + 1 \times 10^2 + 2 \times 10^1 + 0 \times 10^0 $
✔ The image correctly shows the concept — just remember that expanded form can include exponents to show place values more formally.
