Or they don't use the 'Character Set' function.

10^3 is 10³

10^100 means 10 multiplied by itself 100 times

Answer 3

Because of the software on yahoo answers when dealing with some of the maths. equations, it's difficult to type some of the characters as you would like. The character ^ is often used to mean power of.
