You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the 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.
A decimal.
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
To the left, to the left everything moves to the left.
When going to the right of a decimal point, the exponent is negative. This is because each move to the right represents a division by 10, which corresponds to decreasing the value of the number. For example, moving one place to the right from 0.1 to 1 results in a negative exponent of -1 (0.1 = 1 × 10^-1).

To convert a negative exponent into a decimal, first rewrite the expression by taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} ) can be rewritten as ( \frac{1}{a^n} ). Then, calculate the value of ( a^n ) and take its reciprocal to find the decimal representation. This process effectively transforms the negative exponent into a positive one in the denominator.
it becomes negative
When you have a negative exponent (for example 3^-3) you could make the recipricol of the number. So, this would be 1/3^3. Then all that you would have to do is solve for the exponent ( so in this case the answer would be 1/27)
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
No it doesn't. A negative exponent moves the decimal place in the other direction. So while 10 to the power of two is 10 times 10 or 100 10-2 = 1/(102) = 1/100 = 0.01
To the left, to the left everything moves to the left.
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
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.
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
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
