You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Nine to the third power is usually written as 9%5E3 and means nine times itself 2 times or 9%2A9%2A9. You might hear people say nine cubed which is the same thing. Powers are also referred to as exponents as well. A good source for powers can be found here: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/exponent.htm

Nine to the fourth power means 9%5E4%29 and so on. From this you should be able to work out what the answer to your question is.
Let me know how you got on as it is always nice to hear!
