1 x 10 to the power of 2 is 1 x 102 or 10 x 10 or 100
easiest way of explaining it is as follows 103 = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 102 = 1 x 10 x 10 101 = 1 x 10 100 = 1
2 x 10^1 x 1 x 10^5 = 2 x 10^6
108 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 100000000 (1 followed by 8 zeros). To work out 10 to the power of any whole number, put a 1 followed by the power number of zeros, for example 104 is 1 followed by 4 zeros (10000); 1016 is 1 followed by 16 zeros (10000000000000000).
1 x 10^-6
By definition of powers, x to the power y = x*x*x*........y times x to the power 1 = x Therefore, 10 to the power 1 = 10.
1 x 10 to the power of 2 is 1 x 102 or 10 x 10 or 100
easiest way of explaining it is as follows 103 = 1 x 10 x 10 x 10 102 = 1 x 10 x 10 101 = 1 x 10 100 = 1
2 x 10^1 x 1 x 10^5 = 2 x 10^6
33,770,000,000
It is 1 x 10^12
108 = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 100000000 (1 followed by 8 zeros). To work out 10 to the power of any whole number, put a 1 followed by the power number of zeros, for example 104 is 1 followed by 4 zeros (10000); 1016 is 1 followed by 16 zeros (10000000000000000).
1 x 10^-6
A number to a negative power (negative index or exponent) is simply the reciprocal of that number to the equivalent positive power. Example 8⁻² = 1/8² So 10⁻¹ = 1/10¹ = 1/10 Then 6.2 x 10⁻¹ = 6.2 x 1/10¹ = 6.2/10 = 0.62
10^4 is 10 multiplied by itself four times: 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000 x 1 = 10,000
first you forget the 2 is there. then you go : 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 = b now make b a 2. 2 x 10 -6 is 0.000002.
1 times 10 to the power of negative 3 (1 x 10-3)
