Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To express $\frac{1}{10^6}$ using positive exponents, we can simply move the base of the exponent to the numerator and change the sign of the exponent to positive. Therefore, $\frac{1}{10^6}$ is equivalent to $10^{-6}$ and we can express it using positive exponents as $10^{6}$. Thus, the best choice is B.
