When $n$ is positive, we multiply $10$ by itself $n$ times,

\n

\\[\\text{e.g. } 10^3 = 10 \\times 10 \\times 10 = 1000 \\text{ .}\\]

\n

When $n$ is negative, we can think of $10^{-n}$ as $\\frac{1}{10^{n}}$,

\n

\\[\\text{e.g. } 10^{-3} = \\frac{1}{10^3} = \\frac{1}{1000} = 0.001\\text{ .}\\]

\n

When $n = 0$:

\n

\\[10^{0} = 1 \\text{ .}\\]

\n

Generally, we can think of $10^n$ as a number in standard form $1 \\times 10^n$. Then $n$ always tells us the number of decimal places to move the decimal point in $1.0$, for example

\n

\\[10^{-3} = 1.0 \\times 10^{-3} \\text{ and since } n = - 3 \\text{, we go } 3 \\text{ places back as follows: } 1.0 ⇒ 0.1 ⇒ 0.01 ⇒ 0.001 \\text{ .}\\]
