You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can you please help me with this exponent problem. 10 to the power of -9. ------------------
10^-9

The negative means "invert"

The 9 is the power to which 10 is raised.

You can perform those two operations in any order.

10^-9

invert to get (1/10^9)

raise the 10 to the 9th power to get
1/1,000,000,000
