Answer 2

125

Explanation:

The power of a number
`a` says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number (
`a^n`).

To find the value of
`a^n,` you have to multiply n numbers a:

`a^n=a\cdot a\cdot \dots\cdot a\ [\text{Multiply n numbers } a]`

You have to find
`5^3.` Use the definition of powers:

`5^3=5\cdot 5\cdot 5\ [\text{Multiply three numbers 5}]\\ \\5^3=25\cdot 5\\ \\5^3=125`
