Answer 2

oh so the full problem is \(\LARGE 10^{-2}\) ??

Answer 3

no idk why its showing like that

Answer 4

oh so it's \(\LARGE -(10)^{-2}\) ??

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

the negative exponent tells us to take the reciprocal of the base to make the exponent positive

so

\[\Large -(10)^{-2} = -\frac{1}{10^2}\]

Answer 7

oh okay thank you

Answer 8

no problem

Answer 9

Order 34*10^2, 1.2*10^7, 8.11*10^-3, and 435 from least to greatest.

Answer 10

I would use a calculator to evaluate 34*10^2, 1.2*10^7, and 8.11*10^-3

get everything to decimal form and then you'll be able to compare

Answer 11

i think its 8.11*10^-3, 34*10^2, 435,1.2*10^7

Answer 12

where would 435 fit in there

Answer 13

you have it right so far

Answer 14

doesn't it go where i put it?

Answer 15

Oh I didn't see it buried in there. My bad

Answer 16

yes you have the right order for all 4 numbers

Answer 17

oh its ok :)

Answer 18

simplify the expression
(7.26)^-9*(7.26)^10
wouldn't this be -7.26^19?

Answer 19

I'm getting `(7.26)^(-9)*(7.26)^10 = 7.26`

hmm I'm curious how you got your answer

Answer 20

well i was thinking it be either that or 7.26

Answer 21

how did you get the `^19` part?

Answer 22

oh nvm I see what you mean now

Answer 23

the two exponents

Answer 24

\[\Large (7.26)^{-9}*(7.26)^{10} = 7.26^{-9+10} = 7.26^1 = 7.26\]

Answer 25

oh ok

Answer 26

thanks so much!

Answer 27

you're welcome
