To rewrite the expression 100^(3/2) as a product of identical factors, we can break it down as follows:
-
Start with \(100^{3/2}\): \[ 100^{3/2} = (100^1)^{3/2} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ (100^{1/2})^3 \]
-
Calculate \(100^{1/2}\): \[ 100^{1/2} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \]
-
Substitute back into the expression: \[ (100^{1/2})^3 = (10)^3 \]
-
Now calculate \(10^3\): \[ 10^3 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 1000 \]
So, \(100^{3/2}\) can be rewritten as:
\[ (10)^3 \]
The simplified form of the product is:
\[ \boxed{1000} \]
