10^2 = ten squared
10^6 = ten to the power of six or ten to the sixth power
3^4 = three to the fourth or three to the power of four
10^-6 = ten to the negative sixth
One third
One and one fourth or One and a quarter |

Hi,
Thank you very much but, do not confuse that what I mean: 10 2 (by 100, I mean 2 is DECIMAL, but I am not be to type it above 10): two power of ten
10 6 (=1000000): six power of ten
3 4 (= 3x3x3=27) four power of three
10 -6 (1:1000000): minus six power of ten.
Please help me agian! |

No, you have it backwards.
10^6 = 10x10x10x10x10x10 = 1,000,000 = ten to the sixth
3^4 = 3x3x3x3 (there need to be FOUR 3's) = three to the power of four, or three to the fourth
10 ^ -6 = ten to the negative sixth =.000001 |

| What are quantifers and in which situations are they used? | Is the word 'mingy' popular? |
