Problem Solving question - place value and exponents.

Are 10o and 2o equal? Why or Why not

Not quite sure what you're typing?

But I'm assuming you meant ten to the power zero (10^0) and two to the power zero (2^0)

If so, then to answer your question. It would would be yes, they are equal because any number to the power zero is one.

Are the little zeroes degrees of angle or temperature?

In either case, the answer is no.

2 does not equal 10 (unless one number is binary and the other is digital)

John is correct. 2^0 = 10^0, if the ^0's are exponents.

To determine if 10^0 and 2^0 are equal, we need to understand the concept of place value and exponents.

First, let's review place value. In our number system, each digit's value is based on its position in the number. The rightmost digit is in the "ones" position, the next digit is in the "tens" position, and so on. For example, in the number 123, the digit 1 is in the hundreds position, the digit 2 is in the tens position, and the digit 3 is in the ones position.

Now, let's move on to exponents. An exponent tells us how many times a base number should be multiplied by itself. For example, in 10^2, the base is 10 and the exponent is 2. This means we need to multiply 10 by itself two times: 10 * 10 = 100.

For the specific case of 10^0 and 2^0, the exponents are both 0. Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, both 10^0 and 2^0 equal 1.

So, to answer the question, yes, 10^0 and 2^0 are equal because anything raised to the power of 0 equals 1.
