1 to the 7 power= 1
(-4)to the third power = -4·-4·-4=-64
-4 to the third power =-4·4·4=-64
right or wrong?? :?
yeaapp they are right!
The first statement, "1 to the 7th power equals 1," is correct. When any number is raised to the power of 1, the result is always the number itself.
In the second statement, "(-4) to the third power equals -4 times -4 times -4," the calculation is correct. When a negative number is raised to an odd power, the result will be a negative number. In this case, (-4) raised to the power of 3 means multiplying -4 by itself three times, resulting in -64.
The third statement, "-4 to the third power equals -4 times 4 times 4," is incorrect. Raising a negative number to an even power will yield a positive result. So, -4 raised to the power of 3 should be -4 times -4 times -4, which is -64, not -4 times 4 times 4.
To raise a number to a power, you multiply the number by itself the indicated number of times.
