Equation Given: 3.56 x 10^-5

Simple Explanatio: Lets start with this 10^-5 since the exponents is a negative you must subtract the exponent from the base and after you do so this is what your left with -5 and now since we have done the work lets rewrite the answer as 3.56 x 10^-5 the equation may not be changed but that's how i was told to do it and now solve. The decimal in 3.56 will be moved to the left five times because this equation has an negative exponent not a positive so you should end up with the simple answer of 0.0000356

Hopefully this helps ^0^
