I'm assuming you're looking to find the expanded form of the number?
This number is in scientific notation. The easiest way to convert it to a normal number is to move the decimal place 14 to the right. I've attached a picture showing how to do this. You should get 630,000,000,000,000
There's a faster way to do this - notice that you need to move the decimal 14 to the right, and there's one number already after the decimal place. Therefore, 13 places will be filled with zeros. So, just write out 63 and add 13 zeros.

Answer:
The general form of a natural logarithmic function is <em>f(x)=a In(x-h) +k.</em> Since the initial average length of the lizards was 20 centimeters, one possible point (h+1,k) through which the function passes is (0,20).
In this case, h= -1 since h +1 = 0 and k = 20.
It follows that x - h = (-1) = x + 1.
So, the function takes the form <em>f(x) = a In(x + 1) +20. </em>
The average length of the lizards after 2 years is 22.197. So f(2) =22.197. We substitute this value into the function
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>f(2) = a In(2 +1) +20 </em>
<em>22.197 = a In(3) + 20 </em>
<em></em><em>≈ a </em>
<em>2 ≈ a</em>
So the function that represents the average length of the lizards across this generation is <em>f(x) = 2 In(x+1) +20 </em>
