3 in the power of ten means "10^3."
[tex]10^3[/tex]
How to solve exponents is to multiply the number as many times as it's exponent. So in this case you will have to multiply ten, three times.
[tex]10\times10\times10=1000[/tex]
Which would mean that....
[tex]10^3=1000[/tex]
The answer is 10^3.
Hope this helps.
