Question

After a lesson on exponents, Tia went home and said to her mom, "I learned that 10exponet 4 is the same as 40,000." She has made a mistake her thinking. Use words to help Tia correct her mistake

Answer 1

10 exponent 4 is not the same as 40 000. Tia’s thinking is definitely wrong.
Because exponent is a number that indicates how many times you will going to multiply the base number.
Let’s show how we do it:
=> 10 ^ 4
=> 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 , where 10 is our base number and 4 is our exponent. So we multiply 10 4 times
=> 10 000 = the correct answer to the given equation.
