For cubed, will there be questions like, 65 to the fifteenth exponent?

Because thats a bit hard to do without much room.

65 X 15 = 975 X 15 = 14625

on the test for place value if you say "what place is the 9? in 2534.897"
can you just put the hundredths or do you have to put 9 hundredths???

what do we do in factored form? do we do it like this.....eg.
5*5*5 or do we do the whole thing???like this..eg.5 to the power 0f 3=5*5*5=125???

on the last quiz number 14, how did you get 2500? from the question "1.0x10 to the exponent of 6 + 2.0 x 10 to the exponent of 4+ 3.0x 10 to the exponent of -1"

on the last quiz # 14, is the answer
1 000 000 + 20 000 + 0.03
Because the guy who corrected my test DIDN'T EVEN PUT THE CORRECT ANSWER WHERE I GOT IT WRONG!

Mr. Isfeld said...

first of all there won't be anything like 65 to the exponent 15, but that is not cubed. Cubed is only any base to the exponent 3. Which would be 65 x 65 x 65 still hard but easier.

Mr. Isfeld said...

argie follow the rules id significant numbers 1 to the left of decimal multiply by 10 and determine exponent by how many times the decimal has moved.

Mr. Isfeld said...

argie you would say hundredths that is the place 9 hundredths is the value.

Mr. Isfeld said...

factored form looks like this
5 x 5 x 5 that is all you need to do.

Mr. Isfeld said...

althea your second answer is correct for scientific notation

Mr. Isfeld said...

number 14 is not 2500 show me your quiz perhaps their was a error in the marking process.

What is the sum of a squared number?
E.G
3 squared = 9
Is that correct?
