What is the result of 2 raised to the power of 3?

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 8
• D. 10

Answer: (C)

To find the result of 2 raised to the power of 3, you compute \(2^3\), which means you multiply the base, 2, by itself three times: \[ 2 \times 2 \times 2 \] First, you multiply the first two 2's: \[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \] Then, you take that result and multiply it by the last 2: \[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \] Thus, \(2^3 = 8\). This result shows that raising a number to a power involves repeated multiplication, and in this case, the total value of \(2^3\) is indeed 8. Therefore, the correct answer is the one that states the result is 8.

To find the result of 2 raised to the power of 3, you compute (2^3), which means you multiply the base, 2, by itself three times:

[

2 \times 2 \times 2

]

First, you multiply the first two 2's:

[

2 \times 2 = 4

]

Then, you take that result and multiply it by the last 2:

[

4 \times 2 = 8

]

Thus, (2^3 = 8).

This result shows that raising a number to a power involves repeated multiplication, and in this case, the total value of (2^3) is indeed 8. Therefore, the correct answer is the one that states the result is 8.
