To rewrite the expression \(100^{3/2}\) as a product of identical factors, we can break it down as follows:
-
Recognize that \(100 = 10^2\). Therefore, we can rewrite \(100^{3/2}\) as: \[ (10^2)^{3/2} \]
-
Using the property of exponents \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\), we can simplify this to: \[ 10^{2 \cdot (3/2)} = 10^3 \]
-
Now we can find \(10^3\): \[ 10^3 = 1000 \]
So, \(100^{3/2} = 1000\).
Thus, the final answer is: \[ 1000 \]
