Answer:


7×
10^(4)

Explanation:

Because the exponent means that the number is being multiplied by itself that many times. Like
10^(4) means 10000 and that times 7 is 70000.


10^(2) would be 100 and 100 times 4 is 400. Now to determine is 400 or 70000 larger? 70000 is larger.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
