Use multiplication to expand the expression below. Then compute.

Question

2, cubed
2
3

Answer 1

To expand the expression \(2\) cubed, we can write it as:

\[ 2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \]

Now, let's compute it step by step:

1. First, we multiply the first two numbers: \[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \]

2. Next, we multiply the result by the third number: \[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \]

Thus, \(2^3 = 8\).

So, the final result is:

\[ 2^3 = 8 \]
