please help.....its 4 tomorrow!!!?

Question

please give me one or more examples of a power of 2 as it woud have been written before the invention of exponents...(please answer only if u know it)

Answer 1

Maybe I shouldn't be answering since I don't really understand the question. Before exponents... hmmm. Without exponents, I'd have to write 2*2*2*2 = 16 instead of 2^4. Of course I could just write the product... 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. Is this a trick question? Don't forget that 1 is a power of 2, since 2^0 = 1. That's the best I can do based on the information. Good luck!

Answer 2

4 and 9

Answer 3

Hi! Any number to the power of 2 would be that number squared! For example 5 to the power of 2 equals 25. 6 to the power of 2 equals 36! All you do is take the number times itself! It looks hard, but once you do a few, it's easy! All math looks hard, but once you do a few, it makes sense! If the problem asked for a number to "the power of 3", it would be that number times itself 3 times! Three to the power of 3 equals 27! 3X3 is 9 and 9 X3 equals 27! or 3X3X3=27. that can be said "3 to the power of 3"!
2 "to the power of 2" equals 4! 3 to the power of 2 equals 9! You can also use the term "squared"! Two squared equals four! Three squared equals nine! Four squared equals sixteen! five squared equals twenty-five! Get it? I'll keep watching for more questions. Practice a few okay? I'll help! You can do it!

Answer 4

x^2 = x * x

Answer 5

A number multiplied by itself one time!!!!! 2x2 The power is 2 so the number has itself 2 times in the equation.
Power of three is a number multiplied by itself two times!!!! 2x2x2 The number appears three times.
2 (itself) x 2 (one time).

Answer 6

I'm not totally sure what the question is asking but i think it is say that
2^4 would be 2x2x2x2

Answer 7

i think it mean like: x * x = x^2
