Answer:
That would mean that the number is getting squared.
The small 2 on the top right corner is an exponent.
An exponent is a number representing the power to which a given number is to be raised by.
So, with the 2, the number would be getting raised by the power of 2, or be multiplied by itself.
Example:
[tex]5^2= 5*5=25[/tex]
