Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When raising 10 to a power, the exponent tells us how many zeros to append to the number 1. Therefore, $10^5$ means appending 5 zeros to 1: 
1+ 0 zeros = 10 
10 + 0 zeros = 100 
100 + 0 zeros = 1,000 
1,000 + 0 zeros = 10,000 
10,000 + 0 zeros = 100,000

Thus, the decimal notation for $10^5$ is 100,000.
