or in other words "2p" to the second power plus "p" to the second power. Is it "2p" to the fourth, or "3p" to the second, or even "3p" to the fourth???

If I'm right, the equation will be:
2p^2+p^2=?
well... if you're adding terms with exponents, combine like terms. That is, combine terms with the same power, and then retain their exponents. example:
x+x+x^2+x^2+x^3+x^3 will be 2x^3+2x^2+2x
where like terms with the same exponents are added.
so to answer your question, 2p^2+p^2=3p^2 ("3p" squared).

If I understand correctly, you have:
(2p)^2 + p^2 = ?
2p to the second power equals 4p^2. So, you now have:
4p^2 + p^2
which is 5p^2.

(2p)^2 + p^2 = 4p^2 + p^2 = 5p^2
