Question

t="p^{3} at \\\\ p = 2" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

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: $7^4 = 7*7*7*7$
