Question

Find the values of powers in the following pattern: 10^1 ,10^2 ,10^3 ,10^4....Describe the pattern,and use it to evaluate 10^6 without using multiplication.

Answer 1

10¹ = 10 (One Zero)

10² = 100 (Two Zeros)

10³ = 1,000 (Three Zeros)

10⁴ = 10,000 (Four Zeros)

10⁵ = 100,000 (Five Zeros)

10⁶ = 1,000,000 (Six Zeros)

The exponent will tell you how many zeros will appear after the number 1.

So if you have 10⁵, you can accurately predict that five zeros will appear after the number 1, as thus:

10⁵ = 100,000
