Is a bigger number to a higher power larger than a smaller number to a lower power?

I think you mean a bigger number to a lower power and a smaller number to a higher power. Well it depends: With all combinations of numbers, the smaller number to the greater power will be greater than the bigger number to the smaller power EXCEPT the combinations of 3 and 2, and all combinations including one (as 1 to the power of any whole number is 1). Hope that answers your question.
