Thousand?

Like 10(n) or 10 x n?

10 x 1000 = 10000

@mychemicalshaymance, that’s what i was thinking it makes since

It'd be easier if they just used x or y 😂 almost everyone can make sense of it then imo lol

I believe n=4, but that would be if they’re working on the scientific notion

Shay

Curious as to how you got 4?

Well if it’s the kind of problem I think it is it’s asking for 10 raised to the nth power which is just saying using 10 as a factor however many times. So in this case n = 4 10x10x10x10=10000

So if it was asking for 10n of 100000 n would be 5 because 10 can go into 100000 5 times

@randysmomma I know that lol but I think if it was to the power of it would be written as 10^n not as 10n

This is why math was not my favorite 🤦🏼‍♀️

My 6th grader told him 4 also but I said 1000

It’s pretty much just asking about many times 10 can go into 10000 😊

What are they working on in math?


Are they doing power or just exponents. Because as it's written it would be 1000 unless it's written as 10^n which would be 4

Shay

Why do they have to complicate simple math 😂

It says exponent he had a bunch of questions this was the only one like that and he said they never did that one in class

What are the other ones like?

The answer is 4.


10x10x10x10=10,000 😊
