the second power which is also known as squared, you take whatever your coefficient is then multiply it again. so if its 5 to the 2nd power. you would take 5 times 5 which is 25
"Squared" means that something is multiplied by itself. For instance, 5 squared means the same as 5 times 5.
when they say a number is "to a power" like "5 to the second power" its the same thing as 52 read "5 squared" to solve this all you have to do is 5x5=25. if you have "3 to the fourth power" you would do 34 which is the same as 3x3x3x3=81.
There is no such thing as 1 SQUARED by 5. It is actually 1 to the 5th power, which is 1.
