17.Given that 3•2 = 9, 2•6 = 64, 1•7 = 1 and 4•4 = 256. What is the value of 10•5?

A)50 B)100 000 C)5000 D)5

plz explain how you get this answer i am studying the sample questions for the math olympics tommorow so i need to know what they will be like.

I'll use the more common ^ instead of •, which is often used for simple multiplication.

10^5 = 10*10*10*10*10 = 100,000

it's a simple power.

3^2 = 3*3
2^6 = 2*2*2*2*2*2 = 64
and so on.
