what are expanded form in exponents

Expanded form of a number means that you write each place value as a number multiplied by it's place value. 

4 = (4 x 1)
40 = (4 x 10)
42 = (4 x 10) + (2 x 1)
4,236 - (4 x 1000) + (2 x 100) + (3 x 10) + (6 x 1)


Expanded form using exponents means instead of the place value as it would be said, you do the exponential form of 10. 

4,236 = (4 x 10^3) + (2 x 10^2) + (3 x 10^1) + (6 x 10^0)

thumbs up if u agree
