Q. Rewrite the following without an exponent.10−2_____
Understand Negative Exponent Rule: To rewrite an expression with a negative exponent without the exponent, we need to understand that a negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the absolute value of the exponent. In other words, a−n=an1.
Apply Rule to 10−2: Applying this rule to 10−2, we get 1/(102).
Calculate 102: Now we calculate 102, which is 10×10=100.
Rewrite as 1/100: Therefore, 10−2 rewritten without an exponent is 1/100.
