Question: 1 / 410

What is the value of 10 to the second power?

102

0.01

1000

100

When raising a number to a power, the exponent indicates how many times the base number should be multiplied by itself. In this case, 10 to the second power means we multiply 10 by itself two times, resulting in 10 x 10 which equals 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 100, not 102, 0.01, or 1000. Option A, 102, would be the correct answer if the question asked for 10 to the third power. Option B, 0.01, is the result of raising 10 to the negative second power. Option C, 1000, is the result of raising 10 to the third power.
