An exponent tells how many times to multiply a number by it self.
In this table, the symbol ^ indicates the exponent -
(In case the symbol came through garbled, it is the shifted 6)
10 ^5 = 100000
10 ^4 = 10000
10 ^3 = 1000
10 ^2 = 100
10 ^1 - 10
Following that logic -
10 ^0 = 1
10 ^-1 = .1
10 ^-2 = .01
So: 3 x 10 ^-2 = .03
