Question

Write the product using an exponent.

10∙10∙10

Short answer

The product of 10·10·10 using an exponent = ${10}^3$

Step-by-step solution

– Explanation of the exponent formula

${\text{a}}^{\text{x}}\to$a is the base and x is exponent.

The power is the result of repeated multiplication of the same factor.

The expressionsa^xthis means that a has been used as a factor x times.

Write the product 5 · 5 · 5 · 5 in exponent. 

Example: Write the product $5 · 5 · 5 · 5$in exponent.

Rule: ${\text{a}}^{\text{x}}\to$a is called base and x is power.

For:$5 · 5 · 5 · 5$:the base a = 5 and multiplied by 4 times.

In repeated multiplication: $5 · 5 · 5 · 5$in exponent form $5^4$

Write the product 10·10·10 using an exponent.

Rule: ${\text{a}}^{\text{x}}\to$a is called base and x is power.

For: 10·10·10, here base is 10 and multiplied 3 times.

In exponent form: $10 · 10 · 10 = {10}^3$
