Question

Which is greater 6 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent and 2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent

hintHint:

Check whether power of 10 is positive or negative, then move the
decimal places and then compare the values.

The correct answer is: 0.000006


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here 6 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent can be written as 0.000006
    Because of the exponent of 10s term is negative, we must move the decimal 6
    places to the left and
    2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent can be written as 0.00000002
    Because of the exponent of 10s term is negative, we must move the decimal 8
    places to the left.
    Here it is clear that 0.000006 > 0.00000002
    That is, 6 cross times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent greater than 2 cross times 10 to the power of negative 8 end exponent
