Question

what is 10x10^-6? can someone break it down for me?

Answer 1

\[x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}\]and\[10=10^1\]so\[10^1\cdot10^{-6}=?\][10\cdot10^{-6}=\]

Answer 2

ignore the last line

Answer 3

Answer 8

10 is a special base, in that the exponent tells you how many zeros are after (or if negative, before) the 1
10^1=10
10^3=1000
10^6=1,000,000
10^0=1
10^-1=0.1
10^-3=0.001
etc.

Answer 9

0.00001 i go this

Answer 10

0.00001=10^-5
if you count the zeroes...
