To express 1 to the power of 2, you can simply write it as 1².
This notation means that you are multiplying 1 by itself two times. However, since 1 multiplied by 1 is still 1, the result of 1² is 1.
In general, any number raised to the power of 2 is known as that number squared. For example, 2² is 4, 3² is 9, and so on. But 1 is unique because no matter how many times you multiply it by itself, it always equals 1. Therefore, 1 to the power of 2 is simply 1.
