Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
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
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.
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 6.7 x 10-2 = 0.067
move the decimal point three places to the left: 0.004276
The decimal point is moved to the left by the value of the power.
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
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
When multiplying a decimal by a negative integer power of a number ( A ), the general rule is to move the decimal point to the left. Specifically, if you multiply by ( A^{-n} ) (where ( n ) is a positive integer), you divide the decimal by ( A^n ), effectively shifting the decimal point ( n ) places to the left. This results in a smaller value, as you are dividing by a power of ( A ).
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.
.01 , move the decimal point two places to the left.
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
it equals 0.000010 because the negative means the decimal point moves 6 spaces to the left
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.
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
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
