Question

rewrite the following without an exponent.

\\10^{-2}\\

Explanation:

Apply the negative exponent rule

$$ 10^{-2} = \frac{1}{10^2} $$

Evaluate the power in the denominator

$$ \frac{1}{10^2} = \frac{1}{100} $$

Convert to decimal form

$$ \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 $$

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{100}\) (or \(0.01\))
