How do you write 6000 in scientific notation?
When Writing 6000 in scientific notation, we must first count the decimal places from the right side of the number going to the left then multiplied by 10 raised to the number of decimal places. So to write 6000 in scientific notation: Answer:6.0x103 Because since there are 3 decimal places going to the right multiplied by 10 and raised to the number of decimal places.Likewise if 0.00006 is expressed in sci.(scientific) notation we write it as: Answer:6x10-4 Rule: If the decimal point goes to the left, the exponent is positive but if it goes to the left,the exponent is negative
Is the answer going to be positive or negative if your adding a negative to a positive?
Not necessarily.
Why does a positive times a negative produces a negative?
Because when there is a positive and a negative in the same problem, it gives you a negative. An easy way to solve problems like that is if there is an odd number of negative signs, then your answer is going to be negative. If there is an even number of negative signs, then your answer is going to be positive. (no matter if there is a positive sign in a math problem).
Do negative exponent not mean to make the base number negative?
No, there is a big difference between 2^(-4) and (-2)^4 The first is 1/16 and the second is 16. A negative exponent is the reciprocal of a positive exponent. a^b is going to be 1/ (a^(-b)), Similarly, (a^b)*(a^(-b))=1 for two reasons. First multiplying reciprocals cancels them out. Second, when you multiply the same base you add the exponents, so (a^b)*(a^(-b)) = a^0 which equals 1◄

When multiplying a negative number by a positive number is the result going to be negative or positive?
The result will always be negative. Positive X Positive = Positive Negative X Negative = Positive Positive X Negative = Negative
Negative plus a positive?
Negatives and Positives Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative Positive + Negative = Negative
