Hello do you know how to solve this equation:

10^(-(6,988[±0,007))

I dont know how to calculate the ±.. Thank you!

Click to expand...

Presumably, you are being asked to calculate two numbers:

10^(-(6,988+0,007)) and 10^(-(6,988-0,007))

There are some other things you could be expected to do here, but we can't be sure without knowing the context. What else was said? What question was actually asked? (Note that this is not an "equation", as there is no equal sign, so all we can tell to do with it is to evaluate the expression.)
 
As you have been told, you cannot "solve this equation" because there is NO equation! You can do this: \(\displaystyle 6,988\pm 0,007\) can be as large as \(\displaystyle 6,988+ 0,007= 6,995\) or as small as \(\displaystyle 6,988- 0,007= 6,981\). So \(\displaystyle 10^{-6988\pm 0,007}\) could be as small as \(\displaystyle 10^{-6,995}\) or as large as \(\displaystyle 10^{6,981}\).
