How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the exponent value in the input field labeled "Exponent (n)". This can be any real number (integer or decimal).
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute 10 raised to the power of the entered exponent.
- The result will be displayed in scientific notation (e.g., 1.0e+2 for 100).
- Click "Reset" to clear the input and result fields.
Understanding the Formula
The calculator uses the mathematical formula:
10n = 10 raised to the power of n
Where n is the exponent you enter. This operation results in multiplying 10 by itself n times.
Examples
- If you enter 2, the result is 100 (102 = 100)
- If you enter -1, the result is 0.1 (10-1 = 0.1)
- If you enter 0.5, the result is approximately 3.162 (100.5 = √10 ≈ 3.162)
Applications
This calculator is useful in various fields:
- Science and engineering for dealing with orders of magnitude
- Mathematics for exponential operations
- Finance for compound interest calculations
- Computer science for binary and decimal conversions
