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?
