When a number is raised to a power it means that the number is multiplied by itself the same number of times as the number of the power.
In this case is raised to the power so it is equivalent to
We then perform the necessary multiplication to arrive at the answer of .
Example Question #41 : High School Math
Convert to standard notation.
Because the exponent is negative, we have to move the decimal four places to the left. We need to add three zeroes between the decimal the number three.
Example Question #7 : How To Do Exponents In Pre Algebra
Simplify the fractional expression.
Simplifying exponents with a common base can be done by subtracting the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.
This gives us the final answer, .
Example Question #8 : How To Do Exponents In Pre Algebra
Evaluate the term.
A negative exponent can be written as a positive exponent in the denominator of a fraction.
Now we can evaluate the exponent and simplify.
