Question

1. a town has a population of 10,000. which means the same as 10,000? 10^3 10^4 10^6 10^5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent rule

The exponent \(a^n\) means \(a\) multiplied by itself \(n\) times.

Step2: Expand powers of 10

\(10^3=10\times10\times10 = 1000\), \(10^4=10\times10\times10\times10=10000\), \(10^6 = 10\times10\times10\times10\times10\times10=1000000\), \(10^5=10\times10\times10\times10\times10 = 100000\).

Answer:

B. \(10^4\)
