Question

How do you write 50,000 using exponents

Answer 1

`2^(4) *5^(5)`

Explanation:

50,000 can be factorized as

`50,000=2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5*5\\`

and that

`=2^(4) *5^(5)`

Answer 2

`2^4` ×
`2^5`,
`5` ×
`10^4`

Explanation:

Start with:

`50,000`

Find the prime factors of
`50,000`, you can do this by creating a factorization tree. You'll be left with:

`(2)(2)(2)(2)` ×
`(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)`

This can be rewritten as:

`2^4` ×
`5^5`

Start with:

`50,000`

Count the number of zeros within
`50,000`.

`4`

This is representative of four
`10`s.

`10` ×
`10` ×
`10` ×
`10`

This can be rewritten as:

`10^4`

Multiply it by the
`5`.

`5` ×
`10^4`
