Answer 3

so, you have \[\frac{10^6}{10^{-3}}\] what does it mean to have a negative exponent?

Answer 4

Not sure.

Answer 5

@Loser66 @FibonacciChick666

Answer 6

ok, check this out then tell me what a negative exponent means http://www.purplemath.com/modules/exponent2.htm

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side.

Answer 9

@ageta @12man

Answer 10

ok, so what does that turn your problem into?

Answer 11

=2718281.828459orv/1000

Answer 12

Subtracting the exponents

Answer 13

106
10−3
=
106
10−3
=106−(−3)
=109
=1000000000

Answer 14

not quite, so you started with \[\frac{10^6}{10^{-3}}\]
so without computing anything, just rewrite the 10^-3

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

10^9

Answer 17

10^9 is the answer

Answer 18

So is it 1 Over 10^3 @FibonacciChick666

Answer 19

no it is 10^9

Answer 20

almost, yes, you can write just 10^-3 as 1 over 10^3, but let me put that into your equation and see if you can simplify it

Answer 21

\[\frac{10^6}{\frac{1}{10^3}}\]

Answer 22

what do you do when you divide by a fraction?

Answer 23

Divide the top first.

Answer 24

not quite, so there is a great little chant you should memorize, "Flip the second fraction AND......MULTIPLY!!"

Answer 25

Oh yeah!!

Answer 26

so, what does that become (it should only be one line)

Answer 27

10^3

Answer 28

don't for get your 10^6 though

Answer 29

so what does it become?

Answer 30

10^9

Answer 31

how? How did you get to that point, you skipped a step

Answer 32

I added 3+6 and got 9

Answer 33

@FibonacciChick666

Answer 34

ok, so you should show why you are adding 3 and six in your step

Answer 35

Yeah Thanks!!!

Answer 36

ok np
