Hey. What do these numbers represent in standard form?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You mean in this form...

2.00,10.0

?
 
2.00e+00 = 2.00x1000

1.00e+01 = 1.00x1001

3.00e-02 = 3.00x10-02

And so on.
 
This notation is an abbreviated form of scientific notation. The number that appears before E is the mantissa, and is normally in the range 1.0 through 9.999... The number after E is the exponent on 10 (E stands for exponent, where it is implied that it is the exponent on 10).
