After a lesson on exponents,Tia went home and said to her mom,"I learned that 10 to the power of 4 is the same as 40,000." She has made a mistake in her thinking. Use words,numbers, or a place value chart to help Tia correct her mistake.
Tia went home and said to her mom,"I learned that 10 to the power of 4 is the same as 40,000."
Tia made a mistake in her thinking. Exponent represents the number of zeros.
\(10^4\) means we multiply 10 four times
\(10^4= 10*10*10*10=10000\)
For exponent 4, we put 4 zeros. So answer is 10,000.
Answer:
\(10^{4}\) = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000
Step-by-step explanation:
After a lesson on exponents, Tia said to her mom, "I learned that 10 to the power of 4 is the same as 40,000."
In Mathematics, 10 to the power of 4,conventionally is written as \(10^{4}\) which means ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (given exponent).
She is saying \(10^{4}\) that is 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 this would be equal to 10,000.
Thus, we can write
10 to the power of 4 = \(10^{4}\) = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 10,000
