When you move the decimal place to the left to convert a number to scientific notation will the power of ten be positive?
No it will be negative.
AnswerIf you convert 100 to scientific notation you have to move the decimal point 2 places to the left. 100 --> 1.00 (this, by the way. is called the mantissa) so the power of ten is 102. When you move the decimal point to the left, the exponent will be positive. 100 = 1.00 x 102.
