Answer 1

do you know what
eight raised to the *positive* second power (written as \(8^2\) ) is ?

Answer 2

no I was never good in math :/
I struggled a lot

Answer 3

the little number in the top right means how many times to multiply itself

for example \( 8^4\) means \( 8 \cdot 8\cdot 8\cdot 8\) , 8 times itself 4 times

so what is \( 8^2 \) ?

Answer 4

can you count to 2 ? when you see 8^2, write down 2 eights, and put a multiply sign in between
can you do that ?
