Answer 1

Answer:

A base of ten raised to a negative exponent corresponds to a number that is between 0 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A base of ten raised to a negative exponent, say - 1 will correspond to the number, $10^{- 1} = \frac{1}{10^{1}} = \frac{1}{10}$.

Again, a base of ten raised to a negative exponent, say - 2 will correspond to the number, $10^{- 2} = \frac{1}{10^{2}} = \frac{1}{100}$.

{Since we know the property of exponents as $x^{- a} = \frac{1}{x^{a}}$}

Therefore, all those numbers are between 0 and 1.

Hence, a base of ten raised to a negative exponent corresponds to a number that is between 0 and 1. (Answer)
