The Vega family has a 3-year cell phone contact. Javier Vega says that the family gets a total of 3x10 (4) (4 as an exponent) minutes of talk time to share during the 3 years. Is Javier correct or incorrect? Please explain.

What I think: Use this, please excuse my dear aunt Sally, e= exponent my=multiplication. 4 to the tenth power (10,000) times 3 is equal to 30,000 which means they all get 10,000 minutes (I Think)
