part 1 of the question is asking us to evaluate expressions to the power of 2. To do that let's remember the following:


a^2=a* a

Ther is, when a number is elevated to second power it means we have to multiply that number by itself. For example:


\begin{gathered} 1^2=1*1=1 \\ 2^2=2*2=4 \\ 3^2=3*3=9 \end{gathered}

In the second part of this question, we are asked to evaluate the square root of a number. Let's remember that the square root is the inverse operation of elevating a number to the second power. That is if we have:


\sqrt[]{a}=b

it means:


b^2=b* b=a

For example:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{1}=1 \\ \sqrt[]{4}=2 \\ \sqrt[]{9}=3 \end{gathered}

The third part of the questions asks us to solve for "x" the following equation:


x^2=9

To do that we take square root on both sides:


\sqrt[]{x^2}=\sqrt[]{9}

Since the square root of a number to the second power is the same number and the square root of 9 is 3, we get:


x=3
