How do you write a decimal using a negative exponent?
When you have a negative exponent (for example 3^-3) you could make the recipricol of the number. So, this would be 1/3^3. Then all that you would have to do is solve for the exponent ( so in this case the answer would be 1/27)
How do you convert a negative mixed number into a decimal?
If you know how to turn a mixed number into a fraction and a fraction into a decimal do that then make it negative.
How do you turn negative five eighths into a decimal?
negative five eighths into a decimal = -0.625= -5/8= -5÷8= -0.625
How do you turn negative 33 over 50 as a decimal?

Why is a number to a negative exponent a fraction?
Because a number to the exponent 0 = 1 and any lesser exponent decreases the value.
What does a negative exponent signify in scientific notation?
A decimal.
If you move the decimal to the right what happens to the exponent?
it becomes negative
When doing scientific notation is it negative if you move left?
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
How do you make a decimal into a negative exponent?
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
How do you calculate a decimal to a negative fractional exponent?
The negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. Here is an example: 10-2/3 = 1/102/3 This, in turn, can be converted to a root. So, in the end result, you have: 1/102/3 = 1 / cubic root of (102) or 1 / (cubic root of 10)2
HOW DO convert scientific notation to decimalnumbers?
The exponent tells you how many spaces to move the decimal, remember to add zeros as needed. If the exponent is negative make it a decimal number less than one by moving the decimal to the left. If the exponent is positive make the decimal number greater than one by moving the decimal to the right.
What is a negative exponent?
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
What is 0.0000972 in scientific notation?
9.72 x 10-5 You put the decimal behind the first digit. Then count the number of places the decimal moved from its original position. This number becomes the exponent of the 10. If you move the decimal to the left, it is a positive number for the exponent. To the right, it is a negative exponent.
What are the quantities in scientific notation of 00.00000000058?
Move 10 decimal places to the right to get: 5.8 x 10-10 To understand why the exponent is negative, know the basics of multiplying the value by 10's. If we have only decimal values, such as 0.0008, then the exponent must turn out to be negative. That is because the value 8.0 is divided by 104 or 10000. This means that you move 4 decimal places from the starting point. 8/10000 = 0.0008
Can you turn a negative fraction into a negative decimal?
Yes
How do you do scientific notation with decimals?
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
