If you move the decimal to the right what happens to the exponent?
it becomes negative
What is a negative exponent?
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
What is x to the negative 7th power?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.
How will you know the exponent of scientific notation is negative or positive?
The smaller number at the top right of the ten may or may not have a negative sign in front of it: like 6.2 x 102 or 6.2 x 10-2. If the little number is positive, the decimal in the first number will move to the right. If the exponent is negative, the decimal in the first number will move to the left.
How do you convert scientific notation to decimal notation?
If the number in sci. notation has a positive exponent, move the decimal to the right the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 5.78 x 103 = 5780 If the exponent is negative, move the decimal to the left the same number of spaces as the exponent's number. For example: 2.945 x 10-5 = 0.00002945
What is 3m to the negative forth power?
It is the same as 1/34 . We move an exponent to the denominator and we change the exponent from positive to negative. Now 34 is 81 so the answer is 1/81 meters.If the exponent in the denominator is negative, we can move it up to the numerator and change it to a positive.
What is .5 to the negative 1 exponent?
2. When a number is raised to a negative power, move it to the other side of the fraction. So, (0.5)^(-1) is the same as (1)/(0.5)^(1) or 1/(1/2). from there, just divide the fractions, and you will be left with 2.

What is x to negative 7th power?
When we have x to a negative exponent we can move the x to the denominator and make the exponent positive.So x-7 is the same as 1/x7 .In general if we have a-n then this is the same as 1/an .If you start with the negative in the denominator, then you can move it up to the numerator by changing the sign.
When doing scientific notation is it negative if you move left?
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
What is x to the negative 7th power?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.
How do you do scientific notation with decimals?
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
What does it mean if the number written in scientific notation has a negative exponent?
It means that the decimal point has to move to the left.
What are negative exponents?
Exactly that ... negative exponents. For example: 1000 = 103 That is a positive exponent. .001 = 10-3 That is a negative exponent. For positive exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the right, adding zeros as needed. For negative exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the LEFT, adding zeros as needed. And, the special case is this: 100 = 1.
When going to the right of a decimal is it a negative or positive exponent?
When going to the right of a decimal point, the exponent is negative. This is because each move to the right represents a division by 10, which corresponds to decreasing the value of the number. For example, moving one place to the right from 0.1 to 1 results in a negative exponent of -1 (0.1 = 1 × 10^-1).
In standard form what is 3.451x10-3?
Exponent is negative so move the point that number of places LEFT: 0.003451
