42.6
(2.6)4
4 x 2.6
26²

Answer 1

2.6×2.6 = 6.76

2.6×2.6 = 6.76

Now, 6.76× 6.76 = 45.6976

= 45.7

Answer 2

(2.6)^4 is the answer.


We know that multiplying is the act of adding a number to itself a series of times. However, this is multiplying said number by itself, meaning that our answer is an exponent.

Because our number is 2.6 and we’re multiplying it 4 times, our answer is (2.6)^4
