Question
incorrect
your answer is incorrect.
rewrite
\\(\frac{1}{100,000}\\)
as a power of 10.
\\(10^4\\)
Step1: Recall negative exponents
A negative exponent means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So \( \frac{1}{10^n}=10^{-n} \).
Step2: Express 100,000 as power of 10
We know that \( 100,000 = 10^5 \) because \( 10\times10\times10\times10\times10 = 10^5 \).
Step3: Rewrite the fraction
So \( \frac{1}{100,000}=\frac{1}{10^5} \). Using the negative exponent rule, this is \( 10^{-5} \).
