Answer:

The answer should be 10,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tia went home and said to her mom,"I learned that 10 to the power of 4 is the same as 40,000."

10 to the power of 4 means $10^{4}$ that is simplified as $10\times10\times10\times10$ or 10,000.

10 to the power of 4 means 4 zeroes after 1 , and not after 4.

10 to the power of 4 is basically saying 10 x 10 x 10 x 10. This would equal ten thousand. Even though you are using the exponent 4 to do 10 to the fourth power, you're not going to have a 4 in the ten thousands place.
