How would you solve:

10 to the power of -5?
(-10) to the power of 5?
-10 to the power of 5?

Exponents is the only thing in math I forget. :|

1/100000
-100000
-100000

Ever hear of calculators? >_>

Could the first one be 0.0001?

I hate using them.
It doesn't make you use your brain.

So asking people on a forum is?

I'm just curious to know.

@ Storm's right.

I googled it and I got this:

What am I supposed to do?
I have a test tomorrow and I have no idea on how to do this?

Type it in to your calculator. Either it will give you the right answer, or if it answers in scientific notation just keep guessing until you get it.

By the way, this is really not that hard.

Yeah but I don't pay attention.
All I do is talk. <_<

You GOTTA pay attention in math class... and hey, I hated using calculators back in the day, but now I'm doing math where I pretty much have to.

My lowest mark is a 90. :|
95 or lower is a failure to me.

Well, OK, but you just told me the following:

"Yeah but I don't pay attention.

Hence my remark that you have to pay attention in math (or any other) class.

oh the simple days of powers of ten, I wish I still had that. any negative power changes it into a fraction of 1/ the number to the power aka 10^-5 is 1/10^5 aka 1/1000000 aka .0001

and for the other 2 I think the parenthesis matter
one is (-10)^5 while the other would be like saying -(10^5) I think, although since it is an odd power it doesn't matter cause it comes out negative anyway. storm is 100% right. Although I don't know what the teacher would want you to show as work...

Gosh... Math is so easy. I'm doing Direct and inverse variations. Easy as hell. Geometry next year though. >.>


And storm is right, I would solve as spore showed though. Depends on your teacher. By the way, the calculator is only as smart as its user. So it wouldn't matter if you can do it in your head, it would just save you time on your test to do it on a calculator.

Got that right. I'm solving problems using feasible regions right now, kind of like plotting lines, but then finding where the lines intersect and which vertex will provide the maximum profit using a substitution method....

Calculatorz r 4 teh n3wbs. Do teh equationz in ur head.

I slightly remember doing that. My best subject is science. I don't pay attention in math and I do perfectly fine. Besides, look in your math book it tells you how to do it.

The calculator is the best invention ever.
Use it.

95 or lower is a failure to me.

Anything below a 71 (As in, a D or an F) is failure to me. Anything below a 91 (As in, anything other than an A) is failure to my parents. But they know nothing.

Heh, just got my progress report. Straight As except for algebra, which was a C+. My dad's gonna be ticked when he finds out.

And yes, calculators are your friends. Especially when your friends ask you how to figure a problem out and you say "I asked my friends on an online forum." Then, the button-ey magic that is calculators will get you an A AND make you not look like a nerd. Then again, if your standards are that high, you're either already a nerd, or some super-genuis amongst other super-genuis that makes you un-nerdy to your friends but a nerd to the rest of the world. Or you cheat.

You forgot the 'perfectionist' category, which I am (unfortunately...?) part of.
