Answer:
A base of ten raised to a negative exponent corresponds to a number that is between 0 and 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
A base of ten raised to a negative exponent, say - 1 will correspond to the number, [tex]10^{- 1} = \frac{1}{10^{1}} = \frac{1}{10}[/tex].
Again, a base of ten raised to a negative exponent, say - 2 will correspond to the number, [tex]10^{- 2} = \frac{1}{10^{2}} = \frac{1}{100}[/tex].
{Since we know the property of exponents as [tex]x^{- a} = \frac{1}{x^{a}}[/tex]}
Therefore, all those numbers are between 0 and 1.
Hence, a base of ten raised to a negative exponent corresponds to a number that is between 0 and 1. (Answer)
