How do you multiply a negative power of ten?
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
How do you change a number from scientific notation to decimal notation?
If the exponent is positive, you move the decimal point to the right, the specified number of digits. For a negative exponent, you move it to the left. In either case, you fill out missing digits with zero. Examples (using "^" for power):3.448 x 10^1 = 34.485 x 10^6 = 5000000 (note the implied decimal point to the right of the number)3 x 10^-3 = 0.003
Which pattern describe how the decimal point moves when you multiply a decimal number by any power of ten?
Multiplying a real number by a positive power of ten moves the decimal point that number (the exponent) of places to the right. Multiplying by a negative power of ten moves it to the left. For example, the -3 power of 10 is 1/1000; multiplying by that moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.
What is ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form?
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
What does 6.7 x 10 to the negative 2 power equal?
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 6.7 x 10-2 = 0.067
What does ten to the negative third power times 4.276 equal?
move the decimal point three places to the left: 0.004276
What is the general rule for multiplying a decimal by a negative integer power of 10?
The decimal point is moved to the left by the value of the power.
How do you change a negative power of 10 to a decimal?
For a negative power of -k, the equivalent decimal is the decimal point followed by (k-1) zeros followed by 1.Thus 10^-5 = 0.00001
How do you multiply a negative power of ten?
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
What moving the decimal point does to a number mathematically?
Multiplies it by an integral power of ten - positive if the decimal point is moved to the right and negative if moved to the left.

1X10 to the power of negative 2?
.01 , move the decimal point two places to the left.
Which pattern describe how the decimal point moves when you multiply a decimal number by any power of ten?
Multiplying a real number by a positive power of ten moves the decimal point that number (the exponent) of places to the right. Multiplying by a negative power of ten moves it to the left. For example, the -3 power of 10 is 1/1000; multiplying by that moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.
10 to the negative 6 power equals?
it equals 0.000010 because the negative means the decimal point moves 6 spaces to the left
What is the scientific notation for 3002 m?
Move the decimal point to the left or right until you have a number which is greater than or equal to 1, and less than 10: 3.002; now if you moved the decimal point to the left (as is the case here, the power of ten will be a positive number equal to the same number of places that you moved the decimal point). So since we moved the decimal point 3 places to the left, it is 3.002 x 10^3 m{If you move the decimal to the right, then the power of ten will be negative}. If you had a number which was already between 1 and 10 (example 6.1), then you moved the decimal point zero places and the scientific notation is 6.1 x 10^0
What is ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form?
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
How is the way the decimal point moves when you divide a decimal number by a power of ten the same as when you multiply?
It is not. For positive powers of ten, the decimal point moves to the right when multiplying and to the left when dividing. For negative powers of ten the point moves in the opposite directions.
