How can I express 1 raised to the power of 2, and then calculate that raised to the power of 3?

To express 1 raised to the power of 2, you write it as 12. This means you are multiplying 1 by itself once:

12 = 1 imes 1 = 1

Now, if you want to take that result and raise it to the power of 3, you can express it as (12)3. To simplify this:

12 = 1, so we proceed with:

13 = 1 imes 1 imes 1 = 1

Thus, 1 raised to the power of 2, and then raised to the power of 3, equals 1.
