How do you evaluate a power?

Answer 1

Evaluate simply means work out. You times the first number by itself. The second number which is is small and beside the top corner of the first number decides how many times the first number gets times by itself. Here are 4 examples:

2 to the power of 4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 16

3 to the power of 3 = 3 x 3 x 3= 27

4 to the power of 3= 4 x 4 x 4= 64

5 to the power of 5 = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5= 3125
