Certainly! Let's solve this step-by-step.
We are asked to evaluate [tex]\(9^3\)[/tex].
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Understanding the Exponentiation:
- The expression [tex]\(9^3\)[/tex] means 9 is multiplied by itself 3 times.
- So, [tex]\(9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9\)[/tex].
2. First Multiplication:
- Start by multiplying the first two 9s:
[tex]\[
9 \times 9 = 81
\][/tex]
3. Second Multiplication:
- Now take the result from the first multiplication and multiply it by the remaining 9:
[tex]\[
81 \times 9 = 729
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\(9^3\)[/tex] is indeed [tex]\(729\)[/tex]. The statement that [tex]\(9^3 = 730\)[/tex] is incorrect.
The correct answer is:
[tex]\[9^3 = 729.\][/tex]
