How do you write out an exponent?

Question

im a freshman and we are doing all this review stuff and i cant remember anything! it says in need to write the power in words. how do i do that? its like a 7 and a little 3, do i write seven to the 3rd power?

Answer 1

The other people who answered are all correct , but

remember there are other powers so don't get wrapped

around just ' to the third power'  or 'cubed'    



You will have other powers such as ' to the  5th power'  or

'8th power',  etc.

Answer 2

yes, seven to the third power or simply seven cube

Answer 3

now you write 7x7x7 because the little 3 tells you how many times to multiply 7 by itself  

Answer 4

You probably should say 7 cubed, although 7 to the third power is also correct.

.

Answer 5

nailed it.

you could also say:

7 to the power of 3

or

7 cubed
