Question

What is the simplified form of each expression?a. 10^8b. (0.2)^5

Answer 1

(a)100,000,000

(b)0.00032

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)To determine the simplified form of 10^8

`\begin{gathered} 10^8=10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 \\ =100,000,000 \end{gathered}`

(b)To determine the simplified form of (0.2)^5

`\begin{gathered} 0.2^5=(0.1*2)^5 \\ =0.1^5*2^5 \\ =0.00001*32 \\ =0.00032 \end{gathered}`
