No, 10 to the second power is not the prime factorization of 100.
Let us find the prime factorization of 100 to show that the given statement is false.
The prime factorization of 100 is given as
[tex]100=2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5[/tex]
Now, we can further write
[tex]2 \times 2 = 2^2\\ \text{and}\\ 5\times 5= 5^2[/tex]
Thus, we have
[tex]100= 2^2 \times 5^2[/tex]
Therefore, the given statement is false.
Hence, we can say that
No, 10 to the second power is not the prime factorization of 100.
