For example, multiplication simplifies addition when we have to add the same number multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Instead of writing $2 + 2 + 2 = 6$, we can write it as $2 \\times 3 = 6$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, a square of a number is a concept that simplifies multiplication. So, what does $x^2$ mean? It\u2019s simple! The product of variable $x$ with itself is<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>$x^2$.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
