To represent a power of 10, you use an exponent that indicates how many times 10 is multiplied by itself. For example, (10^3) represents (10 \times 10 \times 10), which equals 1,000. The exponent can be any integer, positive or negative; for instance, (10^{-2}) represents (1/100) or 0.01.
0.1 = 1/10 = 10-1
I assume you mean "negative integer exponents".It means that: * It is an exponent * It is an integer (whole number) * It is negative (less than zero, i.e., with a minus sign) A negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. For example, 10 to the power -5 is the same as 1 / (10 to the power 5).
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, a number raised to a negative exponent is less than 1. When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is inverted and the exponent becomes positive. This means that the value of the number decreases as the exponent becomes more negative.
