Ah, all is not given. Therefore I will do the best I can.
When you say, "x (or some number) to the power of 3", you mean x times x times x, commonly abbreviated as x^3, read "x cubed".
For example, seven to the power of three, or seven cubed, is seven times seven, times seven, or 343. And seven to the power of four is seven cubed times seven more, or 2401.
