about 1.5595. You can only solve this with special methods like Lambert functions and Newton method. It is transcendental and best solved by trial and error until you home in using a calculator, spread sheet, or logarithms. Mathematically x^x = 2 or xlogx = log2 = 0.3010
The real solution is approximately 1.55961. There are also additional complex solutions; check the Wolfram Alpha site if you want more detail (input: x^x = 2)
It is 1.5596, approx.

2 x 2
2 to the power of 3 equals 8.
The number 7 raised to the 2nd power (or squared) equals 49.
2
the number of times a certain number is to be multiplied by itself: 2 to the power of 4 equals 16.
When you multiply a number by itself it equals the number in question to the power of two. For example, 4x4=16, but 4^2 also equals 16.
Itself
The sum of a single number is itself. So the only number whose sum equals 2 is 2.
multiplying a number by itself is a power 2^2=2 to the 2nd power 2^3=2 to the 3rd power
2 x 2
10(2) equals 100. When a number is squared, it is basically multiplied by itself, so 10(2) is 10x10=100
Any number to the power of one is the number itself. On this note, 2 to the power of 1 is 2.
2 to the power of 3 equals 8.
The number 7 raised to the 2nd power (or squared) equals 49.

A square root of a number is a number that, multiplied by itself once, will equal the first number. Meanwhile a cube root of a number is a number that, multiplied by itself twice, will equal the first number. For example: the square root of 4 is 2. [ 2 X 2 = 4 ] [ 2 times itself equals 4 ] : the cube root of 8 is 2. [ 2 X 2 X 2 = 8 ] [ 2 times itself, and then times itself again, equals 4 ]
