It means 2n. For example, twice the number for 10 would be 20; for 16, 32; for 4, 8; for 11, 22.
how!!

I think it would be 2n. Say the number n=5, the 2 times the number n(5) would be 10. But 5 to the second power would be 25.(5times 5).

Twice means two times a number, 2n.

Twice a number is 2n.
When math text writers mean n² (or n^2), they'll usually write "the square of {number}", "{number} squared"; or in some cases "{number} to the second power".

It means two times. For example, if 2n=6, it's the same as saying 2 x n =6. In that case, n = 3. You can find it out easiest by dividing 6 by 2.

Twice the number means double the number (2 would be 4, 4 would be 8)

just rephrase it. 2 times a number, a number two times. 2n means whatever number twice. so its 2n. anything to the power of something, is howmany times you multiply something by itself.

Twise an number is any number multiplied by 2.
2n = 8 Therefore, 2 x (4) =8.
