Question

How do you evaluate `7^2`?

Answer 1

`49`

Explanation:

When a number or a variable has an exponent, it means that that number/variable is multiplied by itself, that many times.

So here we have `7^2`

This means that `7` is multiplied by itself, one other time. So we could rewrite is as:

`7*7`

From here we solve:

`7*7`

`=49`

Answer 2

7x7= `7^2`
