Question

What is the simplified form of the expression –(10)^–1?

Answer 1

Easy...

What is -10 minus 1?

Answer 2

Ohhh wait I see, hold on.

Answer 3

I may or may not be correct... but I think what you do is..

For every negative power of a number, you move the decimal that many units to the left. So if -10.0 is to the power of negative 1, then I believe the simplified answer may be -1.

Again, I'm not quite sure, but I think that should be right. If anyone knows better then please correct me.
