What is the value of (10^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 100
An exponent of 2 means that 10 is multiplied by itself twice: \(10^2=10\times10=100\). Therefore, 100 is correct. The number 20 is twice 10, but it is not the value of \(10^2\). Exam tip: in \(a^n\), n tells how many times the base a is multiplied by itself.
