Question

When the expression 10^2021 − 2021 is evaluated, the result is a very large number.

Answer 1

Answer:

18,176

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out an easier thing to do: 1000 - 2021 = 9,797.

Therefore, our answer will be like 9999999999999999999999997979. Out of all of these digits, there are only 2 that arent nines. We know the amount of digits since it's 10^2021 power. We will have one less since we are subtracting 2021. Therefore, 2020 digits in total. Now we know of those 2020 digits, 2 of them are 7, therefore 2018 of them are 9s. That means do 2018(9) + 2(7) = 14 + 18,162 =  18,176.
