Final answer:

10,000 x 10 in exponent form is expressed as 10´ x 10¹, which simplifies to 10µ. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 10µ.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 10,000 x 10 in exponent form, we can express 10,000 as a power of 10 and then use the rule for multiplying powers of 10. The number 10,000 is the same as 10´ (or 10 raised to the power of 4), because 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 equals 10,000. When we multiply this by another 10 (which is 10¹), we apply the rule that when powers of 10 are multiplied together, their exponents are added.

Therefore, 10,000 x 10 is written as 10⁴ x 10¹. Simplifying, we add the exponents 4 and 1, resulting in 10µ, which corresponds to 100,000.

The correct answer to the provided question is d) 10µ
