1. The problem asks to write the given numbers as powers of ten. 2. Recall that any number can be written as $10^n$ where $n$ is the exponent representing how many times 10 is multiplied by itself. 3. For part (a), the number is 1. Since $10^0 = 1$, we write: $$1 = 10^0$$ 4. For part (b), the number is 100000. Count the zeros: there are 5 zeros, so: $$100000 = 10^5$$ 5. Therefore, the answers are: (a) $10^0$ (b) $10^5$
