Answer:

1.05 × 10^-14

Explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

First multiply 3.5 × 3 = 10.5, move the decimal to the left 1 time, 1.05, because you can't pass no further than 10.

Add the exponent, -5 + -10 = -15, since the the decimal been moved to the left 1 time, it add it to -15, which will be -15 + 1 = -14

1.05 × 10^ - 14
