What is the value of (2^3)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 8
Here, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent. Therefore, \(2^3=2\times2\times2=8\), so 8 is correct. A common mistake is choosing 6 by calculating \(2\times3\), but an exponent does not mean multiplication by the exponent. Exam tip: In \(a^n\), multiply the base \(a\) by itself \(n\) times.
