caioziniAugust 2020 Hello! Let's try to clear your doubts. "to add" is the action of putting something into a place, ex: I add some sugar in my coffee. It's a verb. "plus" - it's a preposition, always before the noun. It means that something is being added, like an extra cost, ex: the merchandise plus freight costs; or used in operations, ex: one plus one equal two. About "square", what would be your doubt? I hope it can be helpful for you! |
fatemazahraAugust 2020 Thanks a lot
AussieInBgAugust 2020 I assume that you are referring to 'add', 'plus', 'square' and "to the power of two" in the context of mathematical operations. I will give the mathematics definitions. There are many other meanings of these words to add (verb): to add numbers together. e.g. to add 5 and 4. ---> 5 + 4 = 9 "plus", For "5 + 4", we say "five plus four" "square" (verb): to square a number = to multiply a number by itself. e.g 3 * 3 = 9 ----> "Three squared equals nine". Or, using "square" as a noun", we could say "The square of 3 is 9". "to the power of two": e.g. 4^2 = 16 ---> "four to the power of 2 equals 16". (You could also say "The square of 4 is 16" here!). In general "to the power of n" e.g. 5^3 ----> "five to the power of 3" = 5 * 5 * 5 = 125. I hope this helps! |
