Question

Find the values of the power in the following pattern: (10)1, (10)2, (10)3, (10)4....Describe the pattern, and use it to evaluate (10)6 without using multiplication

Answer 1

10^1 = 10
10^2 = 100 {10 x 10 = 100}
10^3 = 1000 {10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000}
10^4 = 10000 {10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000}

The exponent represents how many zeros will be used in the answer. For example, 10^6 would include 6 zeros in it’s answer; 1,000,000.
