Question 527393: meaning of x^2
Answer by josmiceli(19441) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x can be any number, so
if you pick a number, say 7,
then
+x+=+7+
+x%5E2+=+x%2Ax+
+7%5E2+=+7%2A7+
and
+7%2A7+=+49+
In other words, to square something
is to multiply it by itself
