Answer:

Exponents

Explanation:

exponents are basic short cut to write numbers like 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000 and so on.

Exponents can also be defined as 10 raised to a power x whether positive or negative

$10 {}^(x)$

They are mostly used in expressing units in standard form.

${10}^(2) = 100$

$10 {}^(3) = 1000$

${10}^(4) = 10000$

${10}^(5) = 100000$

basically the power represent the the number of zeroes after the 1.

${10}^( - 2) = 0.01$

${10}^( - 3) = 0.001$

${10}^( - 4) = 0.0001$

10 ^( - 5) = 0.00001

in negative exponents the power represents the number of zeroes before the 1. including the 0 behind the decimal point.

this is the basic lay down of how exponent work but one more quick example for maximum understanding

$4 * {10}^(4) = 0.0004$

$4 * {10}^(4) = 40000$

$8.69 * 10 {}^( - 3) = 0.00869$

$8.69 * 10 {}^( 3) = 8690$

hope you grasp the concept involved in multiplication with other terms.
