Question

The monthly income of a cell phone company is ${10}^7$ dollars. Which of the following gives the equivalent value?

• A. 17 raised to the 7th power
• B. 10 raised to the 10th power
• C. 10 raised to the 17th power
• D. 10 raised to the 7th power

Answer 1

The correct option is D 10 raised to the 7th power

The given data is ${10}^7$.

The option: "17 raised to the 7th power"
In the given data, 10 is raised to the 7th power instead of 17. Hence, this does not give the equivalent value.


The option: "10 raised to the 10th power"
In the given data, 10 is raised to the 7th power. Hence, this does not give the equivalent value.

The option:"10 raised to the 17th power".
In the given data, the exponent of the data is 7 and the base is 10. However, in the option, the exponent is given as 17. Hence, this does not give the equivalent value.


The option: "10 raised to the 7th power"
This is equivalent to the given data of ${10}^7$. Here, the base is 10 and the exponent is 7. Hence, 10 is raised to the 7th power.
Hence, this gives the equivalent value.
