What is the value of 9 to the third power?

  1. 729

  2. 81

  3. 27

  4. 9

The correct answer is: 729

9 to the third power means 9 multiplied by itself three times, and this equals 729. It cannot be 81, 27, or 9 as those are the values of 9 to the first, second, and zeroth power respectively. It is important to know the order of exponents when solving this type of problem.
