Question

what is 10 to the 2nd power × 539

Answer 1

You have the following expression given in the exercise:

$(10^2)\mleft(539\mright)$

Notice that you must find the product, which is the result of a multiplication.

The exponent 2 of the base 10, indicates that you must multipy the base by itself twice. Knowing this, you get:

$10^2=10\cdot10=100$

Therefore, simplifying the expression, this is:

$=(100)(539)$

To find the product you can just write two zeros after the digit 9, which is the same es multiply 539 by 100. So the answer is:

$=53,900$
