What is the value of (10^5)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 100000
An exponent shows how many times a number is multiplied by itself. Thus, \(10^5=10\times10\times10\times10\times10=100000\), so 100000 is correct. The close distractor 10000 equals \(10^4\), not \(10^5\). Exam tip: \(10^n\) has 1 followed by \(n\) zeros.
