To calculate the value of [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the base number, which is 7.
2. The exponent tells you how many times to multiply the base by itself. In this case, the exponent is 3.
So, you need to multiply 7 by itself three times:
[tex]\[ 7 \times 7 \times 7 \][/tex]
Let's break this down:
- First, multiply 7 by 7:
[tex]\[ 7 \times 7 = 49 \][/tex]
- Next, multiply the result (49) by 7 again:
[tex]\[ 49 \times 7 = 343 \][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\( 7^3 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 343 \)[/tex].
