Question

Explain why the power of 10 in the answer to the example problem is 10 forth's and not 10 two's

Answer 1

Answer:

Power of 10, in mathematics, any of the whole-valued (integer) exponents of the number 10. A power of 10 is as many number 10s as indicated by the exponent multiplied together. Thus, shown in long form, a power of 10 is the number 1 followed by n zeros, where n is the exponent and is greater than 0; for example, 106 is written 1,000,000. When n is less than 0, the power of 10 is the number 1 n places after the decimal point; for example, 10−2 is written 0.01. When n is equal to 0, the power of 10 is 1; that is, 100 = 1.

i think this is what you asked for!!!
