Question

`p^(3) at \\\\ p = 2`

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Reason:

Replace p with 2 and evaluate.

`p^3 = 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8`

Think of a cube that is 2 units along each side. It's volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cubic units. Repeated multiplication can be shortened to using exponents.

Another example:
`7^4 = 7*7*7*7`
