Find the value of (0.1)5\left(0.1\right)^{5}.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to calculate the value of (0.1)5(0.1)^{5}.
2. The base of the exponentiation is 0.10.1.
3. The exponent is 55.

STEP 2

Understand the exponentiation operation. Raising a number to an exponent means multiplying the number by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent.
an=a×a××a(n times)a^n = a \times a \times \ldots \times a \quad \text{(n times)}

STEP 3

Apply the exponentiation operation to 0.10.1 raised to the power of 55.
(0.1)5=0.1×0.1×0.1×0.1×0.1(0.1)^5 = 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 0.1

STEP 4

Multiply the first two factors.
0.1×0.1=0.010.1 \times 0.1 = 0.01

STEP 5

Multiply the result from STEP_4 by the next factor.
0.01×0.1=0.0010.01 \times 0.1 = 0.001

STEP 6

Multiply the result from STEP_5 by the next factor.
0.001×0.1=0.00010.001 \times 0.1 = 0.0001

STEP 7

Multiply the result from STEP_6 by the final factor.
0.0001×0.1=0.000010.0001 \times 0.1 = 0.00001

STEP 8

Conclude that the value of (0.1)5(0.1)^{5} is 0.000010.00001.
The correct answer is 0.000010.00001.
