Answer:9.072×10³

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is said to be written in a scientific notation or standard form if it is expressed in the form a×10n where 1 is less than or equal to a and a is less than 10 and n is an integer

9072 is more than 10

So 9072÷10=907.2

Still 907.2 is more than 10

So 907.2÷10=90.72

Still 90.72 is more than 10

So 90.72÷10=9.072

9.072 is less than 10

We divided 9072 by 1000 and 1000 as a power of ten is 10³

So the answer is 9.072×10³
