For this case what we must do is use a base as a number and an exponent.
We must write an expression of the form:
[tex] b ^ a
[/tex]
Where,
b: base
a: exponent
We then have the following number:
[tex] 100000
[/tex]
We can write the number as:
[tex] 100000 = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10
[/tex]
By definition we have:
In the multiplication, if we have the same base, the exponents are added:
[tex] 100000 = 10 ^ {(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1)}
100000 = 10 ^ 5
[/tex]
Answer:
A number that should have used as the exponent is:
5
