Chapter 1, Problem 7
CONCEPT PREVIEW Evaluate each expression. 10³
Verified step by step guidance1
Recognize that the expression 10³ represents 10 raised to the power of 3, which means multiplying 10 by itself three times.
Write the expression as a product: \(10 \times 10 \times 10\).
Understand that exponentiation is repeated multiplication, so 10³ means 10 multiplied by itself 3 times.
Calculate the product step-by-step: first multiply 10 by 10, then multiply the result by 10 again.
Express the final answer as the result of the multiplication without calculating the numeric value explicitly.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Exponents and Powers
Exponents indicate how many times a base number is multiplied by itself. For example, 10³ means 10 × 10 × 10, which equals 1000. Understanding exponents is essential for evaluating expressions involving powers.
