We know that \displaystyle 10^{\lg x} = x, so therefore we rewrite the exponent as \displaystyle -\lg 0\textrm{.}1 = (-1)\cdot\lg 0\textrm{.}1 = \lg 0\textrm{.}1^{-1} by using the log law \displaystyle b\lg a = \lg a^b. This gives

\displaystyle 10^{-\lg 0\textrm{.}1}=10^{\lg 0\textrm{.}1^{-1}}=0\textrm{.}1^{-1}=\frac{1}{0\textrm{.}1}=10\,\textrm{.}
