Step-by-step explanation:
This can be rewritten as
If we will solve this way,
But since the denominator is just in terms of 1, we can just simply get the (-3). Note that we have to take the negative into consideration.
From the original position of the decimal point, move the decimal point 3 times TO THE LEFT. Therefore, from 2.71 we move the decimal point 3 times to the left, 0.00271.
If the exponent has a positive value, move TO THE RIGHT.
For example,
Note that the exponent has a positive value. Therefore, we have to move the decimal point 3 times TO THE RIGHT. Producing 2710 as the answer.
