Beyond the Answer
To calculate \((-2.00 \times 10^{6})^{-3}\), we can break it down into two parts: the coefficient and the power of ten. 1. **Calculate the coefficient**: \[ (-2.00)^{-3} = -\frac{1}{(2.00)^3} = -\frac{1}{8.00} = -0.125 \] 2. **Calculate the power of ten**: \[ (10^{6})^{-3} = 10^{-18} \] Now, combine both parts: \[ -0.125 \times 10^{-18} \] To convert \(-0.125\) into scientific notation, we can represent it as: \[ -1.25 \times 10^{-1} \] So we have: \[ -1.25 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{-18} = -1.25 \times 10^{-19} \] Therefore, the final answer in scientific notation is: \[ \boxed{-1.25 \times 10^{-19}} \]
