10^-3 - -6+9

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

where is the exponent and where d the other numbers continue? This question is not written clearly.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 10^{-3}-3--6-9 }\) like this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[10^{-3}-6+9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess thats how it goes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 10^{-3}-6-9 }\). Use the rule \(\large\color{blue}{ a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b} }\).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Then just add the numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank ya,

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Anytime... but I would prefer that you write what you get in here, so that we can make sure it is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-15?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No, close:) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 10^{-3}-6-9 }\) \(\large\color{blue}{ \frac{1}{10^3} }\)\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ ~-6-9 }\) \(\large\color{blue}{ \frac{1}{10^3} }\)\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ ~-15 }\) \(\large\color{blue}{ \frac{1}{1000} }\)\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ ~-15 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ 0.001~-15 }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \underline{-14.999} }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
