STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to calculate a bunch of exponents, which is just repeated multiplication! Watch out! Don't mix up the *base* and the *exponent*!
The exponent tells you how many times to multiply the base by itself.

STEP 2

1. Seven Squared
2. Six Cubed
3. Two Squared
4. Four Squared
5. Four Cubed
6. Seven Cubed
7. Eight Squared
8. Five Cubed
9. Six Cubed (again!)
10. Four Cubed (again!)

STEP 3

We're asked to find 727^2, which means 77 multiplied by itself **two** times.

STEP 4

Let's **calculate** it: 72=77=497^2 = 7 \cdot 7 = \textbf{49}

STEP 5

636^3 means multiplying 66 by itself **three** times.

STEP 6

**Calculation:** 63=666=366=2166^3 = 6 \cdot 6 \cdot 6 = 36 \cdot 6 = \textbf{216}

STEP 7

222^2 is simply 22 times itself.

STEP 8

**Calculate:** 22=22=42^2 = 2 \cdot 2 = \textbf{4}

STEP 9

424^2 means 44 multiplied by itself.

STEP 10

**Calculate:** 42=44=164^2 = 4 \cdot 4 = \textbf{16}

STEP 11

434^3 means multiplying 44 by itself **three** times.

STEP 12

**Calculate:** 43=444=164=644^3 = 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 = 16 \cdot 4 = \textbf{64}

STEP 13

"Cubed" means to the power of three, so 77 cubed is 737^3.

STEP 14

**Calculate:** 73=777=497=3437^3 = 7 \cdot 7 \cdot 7 = 49 \cdot 7 = \textbf{343}

STEP 15

88 to the power of two is 828^2.

STEP 16

**Calculate:** 82=88=648^2 = 8 \cdot 8 = \textbf{64}

STEP 17

55 cubed is 535^3.

STEP 18

**Calculate:** 53=555=255=1255^3 = 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 25 \cdot 5 = \textbf{125}

STEP 19

We already did this one!
It's 636^3.

STEP 20

**Calculate (again!):** 63=666=366=2166^3 = 6 \cdot 6 \cdot 6 = 36 \cdot 6 = \textbf{216}

STEP 21

We've seen this before too!
It's 434^3.

STEP 22

**Calculate (again!):** 43=444=164=644^3 = 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 4 = 16 \cdot 4 = \textbf{64}

STEP 23

72=497^2 = 49, 63=2166^3 = 216, 22=42^2 = 4, 42=164^2 = 16, 43=644^3 = 64, 77 cubed is 343343, 88 to the power of two is 6464, 55 cubed is 125125, 66 cubed is 216216, and 44 to the power of three is 6464.
