00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,690


2
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:03,960
Find the value of 5 to the third power.

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,019
Let me rewrite that.

4
00:00:05,019 --> 00:00:07,910
We have 5 to the third power.

5
00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:10,339
Now, it's important to remember, this does not

6
00:00:10,339 --> 00:00:12,629
mean 5 times 3.

7
00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:17,769
This means 5 times itself three times, so this is equal

8
00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:23,689
to 5 times 5 times 5.

9
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:26,929
5 times 3, just as a bit of a refresher so you realize the

10
00:00:26,929 --> 00:00:31,679
difference, 5 times 3-- let me write it over here.

11
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:41,369
5 times 3 is equal to 5 plus 5 plus 5.

12
00:00:41,369 --> 00:00:44,820
So when you multiply by 3, you're adding the number to

13
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:46,689
itself three times.

14
00:00:46,689 --> 00:00:49,519
When you take it to the third power, you're multiplying the

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,980
number by itself three times.

16
00:00:51,979 --> 00:00:55,719
So 5 times 3, you've seen that before, that's 15.

17
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:00,649
But 5 to the third power, 5 times itself three times, is

18
00:01:00,649 --> 00:01:07,400
equal to-- well, 5 times 5 is 25, and then 25 times 5 is

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,760
125, so this is equal to 125.

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,270
And we're done!

21
00:01:14,269 --> 00:01:14,598
