Question

what is 1.0 times
10 to the negative 5th power in standard form

Answer 1

10^-1 = 0.1 (10/1 flipped to 1/10) 10^-5 = 10^(-1 x 5) = (1/10)^5 = 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 x 1/10 = 1/100 x 1/100 x 1/10 = 1/100000 = 0.00001

Answer 2

0.00010 because you have to move the decimal that is currently after the 0 in 10 5 places backwards.
