Question 203922
{{{10^-6}}} means that the decimal point needs to be moved 6 places to the left of 10. Now, since 10’s decimal point follows the zero (10.), after moving the decimal point 6 places to the left, we get {{{highlight_green(.00001)}}}, because the last zero is dropped.


If this example were say {{{10^6}}} (positive exponent), then we would instead move the decimal point 6 places to the RIGHT to get 10,000,000 


{{{highlight(Remember)}}}:

A negative exponent signifies a move of the decimal point to the left of the given BASE, while a POSITIVE EXPONENT signifies a move of the decimal point to the right of the given BASE.


GOOD LUCK!!
