Answer:
to square a number you multiply the number by itself.
a positive number times a positive number is a positive number.
a negative number times a negative number is a negative number.
and if you are multiplying 2 numbers with the same sign they will always be a positive number.
3.48 x 10^ -5
move the decimal point back to the first number that isn't zero, if the decimal is moved right 5 spaces, it will be 10^ -5 , if a number has a zero, such as 0.000104, it would be 1.04 x 10^ -4.
The numbers after the decimal place are represented as 10ths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on. 0.6 is said as "Zero point six tenths." Or "Zero and six tenths."
0.06 is said as "Zero point zero six hundredths." Or "Zero and six hundredths."
