(1/10 * 1/10 * 1/10) = (- 10) ^ 3
Is it true or false


Sagot :

Answer:

  False

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponent signifies repeated multiplication, so will reflect the fact that 1/10 is a factor 3 times.

  (1/10)(1/10)(1/10) = (1/10)^3 . . . not (-10)^3

The given equation is FALSE.

This can also be written as 10^(-3), which is perhaps what someone was trying to do. The minus sign goes with the exponent, not the base.
