Laws of Exponents part 2

.To square a number it has to be multiply the number by it self instead of writing it a longer form. For ex, 4x4x4x4=4^4. Square stand for it being times by it self for EX 2h^2 + 3k^2. Cube is a number , it mean a number being times by it self by 3 for EX 4h^3 - 3h^3. look at this way if have 2 group of 3 jelly beans on each group 3 is being times by it self so just put 3^2 instead writing 3x3..
