@reflectingmonkey... it's to show that it's "2y to the second power"

@flashywords No it is 2 * (y^2). You do not square the 2 out front.

@reflectingmonkey 2y squared

@SW-User If you want to square 2y, it should be written as (2y)^2.
Typically exponentiation is evaluated first, so for 2 * y^2, the y would be squared, then the result multiplied by 2. This is how Excel handles it, for example. Yet when in doubt, include more parentheses.
