Math Problem Statement

Write each expression in expanded form: 10^7 * 10^6 and (10^3)^4.

Solution

The image asks to expand two expressions:

  1. 10710610^7 \cdot 10^6
  2. (103)4(10^3)^4

Let's expand both:

  1. 10710610^7 \cdot 10^6: By the property of exponents aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}, we can add the exponents: 107106=107+6=101310^7 \cdot 10^6 = 10^{7+6} = 10^{13} So, the expanded form is: 101310^{13}

  2. (103)4(10^3)^4: By the power of a power property (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}, we multiply the exponents: (103)4=1034=1012(10^3)^4 = 10^{3 \cdot 4} = 10^{12} So, the expanded form is: 101210^{12}

Tip: Always remember that when multiplying exponents with the same base, you add the exponents, and when raising a power to another power, you multiply them.
