Question

After a lesson on exponents, Tia went home and said to her mom " I learned that 10 to the 4th power is the same as 40,000." She has made a mistake in her thinking.

Answer 1

The answer is "10,000".

Explanation:

In the 10^4 can be written as 10 exponents 4, which is not equal to 40,000. Tia's opinion was incorrect because the exponential shows how much they multiply that base number.

Let's explain :

`\to 10^4 = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 \\`

`=10,000`
