What is the value of (12^3)?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1728
An exponent of 3 means that 12 is multiplied by itself three times: \(12^3=12\times12\times12=144\times12=1728\). Therefore, 1728 is correct. Option 144 is the value of \(12^2\), not \(12^3\). Exam tip: In \(a^3\), the base \(a\) appears as three factors.
