ANSWER


100,000=10^5
Step-by-step explanation

We want to write 100,000 using exponents.

This means that, we want to write 100,000 as an index number, that is a certain number raised to a certain index or exponent.


The exponent tells us how many times that number multiplies itself to give 100,000


100,000=10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10

Since 10 multiplies itself 5 times to give 100,000, we write


100,000=10^5
