please check:
10 to the 1st power = 10*1???
10 to the 0 power = 10*0???
I'm not sure.
I don't get how 10 to the 0 power equals 1
...
10^3 = 10*10*10
10^2 = 10*10
10^1 = 10
10^0 = 1
10^-1 = 1/10
10^-2 = 1/100
...
or, if you know the laws of exponents,
10^m / 10^n = 10^(m-n)
if m=n, say 3,
10^3/10^3 = 10^(3-3) = 10^0
but 10^3/10^3 = 1
10^(m-m) = 10^0 = 10^m/10^m = 1
To calculate powers of 10, you need to understand the concept of exponents. The exponent indicates how many times the base number (in this case, 10) should be multiplied by itself. Let me break it down for you:
10 to the 1st power means multiplying 10 by itself one time. Therefore, 10 to the 1st power is equal to 10.
10 to the 0 power is a special case. Any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, 10 to the 0 power is also equal to 1.
So, the correct calculations are as follows:
10 to the 1st power = 10
10 to the 0 power = 1
Remember, you can always verify such calculations by manually multiplying the base number by itself repeatedly for the given exponent.
