Question

1) The minimum thickness of Saturns A ring is one-tenth kilometer. Write this decimal using a negative exponent.

2) 1/4 with negative exponent

3) 1/44 with a negative exponent

Answer 1

1)
`10^(-1)`

2)
`2^(-2)`

3)
`12^(-2)`

Explanation:

Using negative exponent rule:

1) one -tenth of kilometer =.1 =
`(1)/(10)=10^(-1)`

Using negative exponent rule:

2)
`(1)/(4) =(1)/(2^(2) )=2^(-2)`

Using negative exponent rule:

3)
`(1)/(144) =(1)/(12^(2) )= 12^(-2)`
