Question

1.0•10^-10 standard form

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 0.0000000001$

Explanation:

Given

$1.0 * 10^{-10}$

Required

Convert to standard form

$1.0 * 10^{-10}$

From laws of indices

$a^{-x} = \frac{1}{a^x}$

So, $1.0 * 10^{-10}$ is equivalent to

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10^{10}}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}* \frac{1}{10}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * \frac{1}{10000000000}$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 1.0 * 0.0000000001$

$1.0 * 10^{-10} = 0.0000000001$

Hence, the standard form of $1.0 * 10^{-10}$ is $0.0000000001$
