10-1 is 0.1 or 1/10
10-2 = 0.01
10-5 = 0.00001
powers are exponents. ten to the zero power=100=1 ten to the first power=101=10 ten to the second power=102=100 etc.
When something is to the negative first power, you find the inverse of it - which means you flip the fraction. (1/2)^-1=2/1 2
(3)-1 = 1/3
5.3 times ten to the negative first power is 0.53
1
Ten to the negative sixth power in decimal form is 0.000001
To calculate six times ten to the negative power, multiply 6 by the value of ten raised to the negative power. For example, if the power is -3, it would be 6 times 10 to the negative third power, which equals 0.006.
By definition, the number one is a power (the zeroth power) of ten. The first few non-negative powers of ten are: 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000. (sequence A011557 in the OEIS)
10 to the power of negative 6 = 1/1,000,000
Move the decimal point left to multiply by a negative power of ten. For example, 5X10-3 is 0.005
It is equivalent to dividing by ten to the equivalent positive power.
0.001
.000005
0.0001
No it is ten to the negative fourth power. If the number is greater than 1 it is to a positive power, if the number is smaller thann 1 it is to a negative power.
