What is an Exponent?
To solve for 10 to the power of 3, we need to understand the structure. The number 10 is known as the base, and the number 3 is the exponent. Essentially, the base must be multiplied by itself as many times as the exponent indicates. It's like a special code that says, "Do this many times!" Let’s look at this problem in more detail.
Writing in Base-Exponent Form
When we write a number with an exponent, it looks like this:
Example: (Here, 2 is the base, 4 is the exponent)
Calculating the Result
So, using these steps for our specific problem, we first change our word problem into a base-exponent form: ,
To solve , multiply the base (10) by itself 3 times: = 1000
Therefore, 10 to the power of 3 is 1000.
