Question

6 part a: write ten to the second power as a product of tens. part b: find the product.
part a:

part b:

Explanation:

Part A

Step1: Recall exponent definition

The exponent \( n \) in \( a^n \) means multiplying \( a \) by itself \( n \) times. For \( 10^2 \), \( a = 10 \) and \( n = 2 \).
So, \( 10^2 = 10\times10 \)

Step1: Multiply the numbers

We have \( 10\times10 \). Multiplying 10 by 10 gives \( 100 \)

Answer:

\( 10 \times 10 \)
