10⁻² = 1/100. State whether the statement is true or false.

Solution:

Given, 10⁻² = 1/100.

Using law of exponents,

a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

So, 10⁻² = 1/10²

= 1/100

Therefore, 10⁻² = 1/100.

✦ Try This: 10⁻³ = 1/1000. State whether the statement is true or false.

Given, 10⁻³ = 1/1000.

Using law of exponents,

a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

So, 10⁻³ = 1/10³

= 1/1000

Therefore, the given statement is true.
