Sure, let's break down the problem step-by-step:
We need to evaluate [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex].
1. Understand the Exponential Expression:
- The notation [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex] means that we need to multiply 7 by itself 3 times.
2. Perform the Multiplication:
- Start with the initial value: 7.
- Multiply by 7:
[tex]\[
7 \times 7 = 49
\][/tex]
- Take the result and multiply by 7 again:
[tex]\[
49 \times 7 = 343
\][/tex]
3. Conclusion:
- Therefore, the value of [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 343 \)[/tex].
So, [tex]\(\boxed{343}\)[/tex] is the final answer.
