3.6 × 10-2 equals 0.036
Exactly! -6 to the power of 2 means "-6 times -6". That's a negative times a negative, and the answer is positive 36.
6 to the -2nd power = 1/366-2 = 1/62 = 1/36
36 times 10^3 plus fifteen times 10^2 is equal to 37,500.
To get your answer, you'd first take negative 6 times itself. That would give you positive 36. So negative 6 to the second power would be 36. But you're not raising it to the second power, you're raising it to the negative power. That means take 1 over it. So instead of 36, your answer would be the inverse, which means 1/36.

1/36
6 multiplied by 6 multiplied by 6 multiplied by 6 = 1296 Six to the fourth power is simply six squared times six squared. Or 36 times 36. Anyone knows that 4 times 36 is 144, or can see that once it is presented to them or they think about it. Next we take it times ten (adding a zero), 40 times 36 is 1440, but we needed 36 times 36, not 40 times 36. So lets chop that first 144 (4x36) off the 1440. 1440-144=1296. Viola!
36

-9 x -4 = 36
It would be 36 since a negative times a negative is positive. A negative times a positive is negative.-6*-6=36-7*-5=35-5*-7=35...
-36 x 2/3 = -24
