Exercise 36 Page 356

To evaluate 10^5, start by writing the power as a product.

100 000

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to find about how many people attended the parade. To do so, we need to evaluate the following expression. 10^5 Note that the expression 10^5, or 10 to the fifth power, can be written as the product of five 10 terms. Let's use this information to evaluate the expression.

10^5
10* 10* 10* 10* 10
100 000

We found that about 100 000 attended the parade.
