Evaluate each expression. 10³

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the expression given: \$10^3$, which means 10 raised to the power of 3.
2. Recall that an exponent indicates how many times the base (10) is multiplied by itself.
3. Rewrite the expression as a multiplication: \(10 \times 10 \times 10\).
4. Multiply the numbers step-by-step: first multiply \(10 \times 10\), then multiply the result by 10 again.
5. The final product after these multiplications will be the value of \$10^3$.

Key Concepts

Exponents and Powers

An exponent indicates how many times a base number is multiplied by itself. For example, 10^3 means 10 multiplied by itself 3 times: 10 × 10 × 10.

Base Number

The base is the number that is repeatedly multiplied in an expression with an exponent. In 10^3, the base is 10, which is the number being raised to the power.

Evaluating Exponential Expressions

To evaluate an expression like 10^3, multiply the base by itself as many times as the exponent indicates. Here, 10^3 equals 1000 because 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000.
