Exponents, Variables

Hi!

Is there also a short form for "3 elevado a 2 igual a 9"? Would "3 a 2 son 9" work? (and is that even the correct translation of "to the whatever power"?)

Also, can I drop the "por" when variables are involved? Like "2 por x" -> "2 x"?

answer instructions

The answer instructions don't say to answer all that could be correct or just one answer.

Are points taken off for just giving one correct answer?

English Format

Hi!

I think if the English was restructured for a few of the examples, the distinction between haber/tener would be clearer. Essentially the past participle would be moved towards the end of the sentence while placing the object after have/has.

For example: You have two rooms painted. Marta and I have a trip to Egypt planned.

Thanks!

Come usage Hi I realize it's a little off topic from the verb trabajar, but in the second example the use of the word Como is confusing me.
Yo trabajo como secretaria en una empresa.I work as a secretary in a company.
Doesn't Como mean "how"? As in "Como estas" But in the example above it seems like it means "as". Also I have seen it mean "eat". Am I mixing something up here?
Thank you

Eliminate "Vosotros"

Can we eliminate the use of "vosotros" in the Spanish - or choose a non Spain (American) version?

Kwiziq left out the word "it".

The combined verb with pronouns now has an accent [´] even if didn't have one as a simple imperative with no pronouns, this is to maintain the pronunciation of the original verb.

Indicative or subjunctive?

Does this construction always require indicative or can it also be used with subjunctive?
