ANSWER IS 9

Answer 1

Answer: result = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

numA has an integer value of 3

numB has an integer value of 2

result is the value of numA ** numB (or 3 ** 2)

In python, "**" operator means "to the power of" and it is used to create exponents. So writing result mathematically would be the same as:

`3^(2)`

The value of 3 to the power of 2 is 9 because 3 x 3 is equal to 9.
