Exponents, Variables

Question

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"?

Hola Torsten
For that you could say something like:
3 elevado al cuadrado es 9
or
3 al cuadrado es 9 
or 
el cuadrado de 3 es 9
With multiplication you'd say "2 por 2 son 4"; you can't drop the "por".
Saludos

What the heck . . .The question was: How would you say ''nine divided by three equals three'' ? and the answer given by Kwizik as correct used the "entre" response.Shouldn't it have been: nueve dividido por tres es igual a tres
