Question

The exponential representation of “2 multiplied by itself ten times” is __________.

• A. $2\times 2^8$
• B. $2^{-10}$
• C. $2^{10}$
• D. $2\times 100$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2^{10}$

When 2 is multiplied by itself 3 times, it is expressed as $2\times 2\times 2$. In exponential form, it is written as $2^3$.

Similarly, when 2 is multiplied by itself 10 times, it is expressed as
$2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2$
In the exponential form, it is written as $2^{10}$.
