What is 2 to the power of 3?

We will solve the given question by using the multiplication rule of exponents.

Answer: 2 to the power of 3 is 8.

Let's solve the given question step by step.

Explanation:

Given, 2 to the power of 3.

We know that the rules for exponentiation state that if n is a positive integer and a is any real number, then aⁿ can be represented as:

aⁿ = a × a × … × a (n times)

Hence, 2 to the power of 3 will be written as 2³,

where 2 is called the base and 3 is the exponent of the expression.

Therefore, 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8

Hence, 2 to the power of 3 is 8.
