Power Law - Exponent Base with Variable Power to Ten Base with Unknown Power (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on solving problems involving exponents, specifically using the power law. It centers on finding the missing exponent when base ten is raised to the power of another exponent. Problems include expressions like \( (10^2)^3 = 10^? \), testing the ability to apply the rule that states \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} \). Each question requires the student to determine the correct power of ten that equates to the given expression, honing skills in exponentiation and understanding of power laws. The problems are presented at a beginner level.
