can some on help me?

OpenStudy (shyniah365):

Multiply the day you were born times 1 x 10-6 and write this in standard form 08/2 99

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i think for 'the day you were born' they probably expect just the dd of mm/dd yyyy

OpenStudy (shyniah365):

yeah

OpenStudy (shyniah365):

is it \[10 \times 6 =120?\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[10^n=\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{10\times10\times\dots\times10}}^{n\text{ times}}}=1\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{00\cdots0}}^{n\text{ 0's}}}\] \[10^{-m}=\frac1{\color{brown}{\underbrace{\color{black}{10\times10\times\dots\times10}}_{m\text{ times}}}} =\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{0.00\cdots}}^{m\text{ 0's}}}1 \]

OpenStudy (shyniah365):

so its 10 times 10 times 10 =1000

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[10^3=\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{10\times10\times10}}^{3\text{ times}}}=1\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{000}}^{3\text{ 0's}}}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

in your question you have to times by 10^-6 \[\large 10^{-6}=\frac1{\color{brown}{\underbrace{\color{black}{10\times10\times\times10\times10\times10\times10}}_{6\text{ times}}}} =\color{brown}{\overbrace{\color{black}{0.00000}}^{6\text{ 0's}}}1\]

OpenStudy (shyniah365):

ik so y did you put 10 times 10 times 10 thats 3 i was gonig along with you

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

my birthday is on the 21st so i would put 21 x 1 x 10^{-6} = 21 x 10^-6 = 21 x 0.000001 = 0.000021
