01 What is the value of (45^3)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 91125
Explanation: An exponent of 3 means that 45 is multiplied by itself three times: \(45^3=45\times45\times45\). First, \(45\times45=2025\), and then \(2025\times45=91125\). Therefore, the correct answer is 91125. Note that 2025 is the value of \(45^2\), not \(45^3\). Exam tip: To find a cube, first find the square and then multiply it by the original number.
