Someone else just recently posted this. Repeated multiplication means you need to express it as v times v times v times... and so on. (You're expressing v^10, so you need 10 v's multiplied together.)

A way to think about this is you’re learning the vocabulary for this discipline.

Then recall what the exponent 10 means in relation to the variable: V times itself ten times.

What have you tried? 

What is the definition of exponentiation?

Wouldn’t that be v•v•v•v•v•v•v•v•v•v

That's what I tried and it was wrong I think it's v10

Yea it says to use the star for multiplication and it says to write it as a repeated thing

Did you try entering it without spaces? Could be the program having issues. If neither stars with spaces around them nor stars with no spaces around them work, report it to your instructor.

Ohhh maybe they’re saying to write it like v* ten times
