Evaluate the following using
powers of ten rules.
104)1.042

Answer:
0.0001042
Step-by-step explanation:
Power of tens rule states that if the denominator of a fraction has the positive power of 10, decimal in the numerator will be shifted to the left by the same number of places as exponent.
10⁴) 1.042 = [tex]\frac{1.042}{10^4}[/tex]
In the denominator of the given fraction, exponent of 10 = +4
So the decimal in numerator will be shifted left by 4 places.
[tex]\frac{1.042}{10^4}=0.0001042[/tex]
Therefore, answer is 0.0001042
