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

Answer:

The answer is "10,000".

Step-by-step 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 :

$\to 10^4 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10$

          $=10,000$
