Why not? An exponent is just like any other number.
It can be either.
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.
It is 100.
A decimal.

decimal point exponent
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.
It stands for exponent.
The answer depends on the base of the exponent.
It is 100.
A decimal.
If the number in sci. notation has a positive exponent, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 5.78 x 103 = 5780 If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 2.945 x 10-5 = 0.00002945
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.
it becomes negative
0 0.50 = 0.5
