Powers of 10
find the derivative of 3 -- 6 x + 10 x + 1000= 2 --18 x + 10 3&2 above xes are powers
100.
Prefixes based on powers of 10 can be used with any SI (metric) unit. Some of the common prefixes are: Deka (10) Hekto (100) deci (1/10) centi (1/100) kilo (1000 Mega (million) milli (1/1000) micro (1/1,000,000)
10, 100, 1000, 10000, ... are the positive powers. 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, ... are negative powers.

It was found convenient to have prefixes for different powers of 10 - and especially powers of 1000. "Kilo" was chosen for 1000. It is derived from a Greek word meaning 1000.
There is no special prefix for that factor. There are SI prefixes for powers of 10 (10, 100, 1000, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001), and especially for powers of 1000 (1000, a million, a billion, 1/1000, etc.)
Powers of 10
THREE because there are three zeros in 1000. Power or 10's dude. Powers of 10.
10 to the 3rd power
Instead of or powers of 10, the Babylobians used powers of 60. So Babylonian 10 is decimal 60, and Babylonian 100 is decimal 3600. Decimal 1000 is 16x60 +40 =Babylonian (16)(40)
The exponent in this case is the small number written in superscript (raised) to the right of the 10.
0.1 These are all powers of 10: 10^3 = 1000 10^2 = 100 10^1 = 10 10^0 = 1 10^-1 = 0.1
Logarithmically. By powers of ten. pH 1 is 1000 times more acidic than pH 3. 10 * 10 * 10, or 103
The metric system is based on powers of 10. Its units increase or decrease by factors of 10, making conversions between different units straightforward and consistent. This system makes it easier to work with measurements and perform calculations.
