10-2 = 0.01
10-5 = 0.00001
powers are exponents. ten to the zero power=100=1 ten to the first power=101=10 ten to the second power=102=100 etc.
(3)-1 = 1/3
One half to the negative first power is equal to the reciprocal of one half raised to the first power. The reciprocal of one half is two, so (1/2)^(-1) = 1 / (1/2) = 1 * 2 = 2.
5.3 times ten to the negative first power is 0.53
1
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
To calculate six times ten to the negative power, multiply 6 by the value of ten raised to the negative power. For example, if the power is -3, it would be 6 times 10 to the negative third power, which equals 0.006.
By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ten are: 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000. (sequence A011557 in the OEIS)
10 to the power of negative 6 = 1/1,000,000
No, 0.00036 is equivalent to 3.6 times ten to the negative fourth power.
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
It is equivalent to dividing by ten to the equivalent positive power.
