Answer

(10²)⁴

(1/10⁻⁸)

10⁴ × 10⁴

10¹² ÷ 10⁴

1,000 × 100,000

10,000,000,000 ÷ 100

All of them are equal to 10⁸

Step-by-step explanation

The laws of indices will help us solve this

- When a variable carries a power and is raised to an extra power, the answer is the variable carrying the product of these two powers.

- When a variable is raised to the power of a negative number, this is the same as 1 over that variable raised to the positive value of that power

- When the same variable, carrying different powers are multiplied with each other, then, the result is that same variable raised to the power of the sum of the two powers from before multiplication.

So, some of the ways to write expressions that will give 10 raised to the power of 8 include

First one

(10²)⁴ = 10⁸

Second one

(1/10⁻⁸) = 10⁻⁽⁻⁸⁾ = 10⁸

Third one

10⁴ × 10⁴ = 10⁴⁺⁴ = 10⁸

Fourth one

10¹² ÷ 10⁴ = 10¹²⁻⁴ = 10⁸

Fifth one

1,000 × 100,000 = 100,000,000 = 10⁸

Sixth one

10,000,000,000 ÷ 100 = 100,000,000 = 10⁸

Hope this Helps!!!
