Question

How do you express `10^-4` as a positive exponent?

Answer 1

`1/10^4`

Explanation:

This is one of the fundamental rules of exponents. When given a variable, integer, etc. with a negative exponent, you can instead rewrite it as the inverse of said variable/integer/etc. with a positive exponent.

For a number `n` raised to the power `x`, this then can take the form:

`n^-x` = `1/n^x`

Hope this helps!
