electrical equations

[Legrand]

I'm studying electrical equations, one of Mike's books. In unit 1's test it asks what is the numerical equivalent of 42. In the answer book it says the answer is 16 (4x4). I can't find anything in the book to explain how they came up with this answer. It refers to section 1-10, squaring, if anyone could tell me i'd appreciate it. What am I missing?

Is it possible that the book either made a mistake? Instead of 42 maybe it meant 4 squared which indeed would be 4x4=16.

. . . what is the numerical equivalent of 42. . . .

That's not the question; it's the answer!

Thanks for the help guys, but I don't believe that it is a mistake, or that it is the answer, I may be wrong and I will be the first to apologize, but, the next question is,

22.) The numeric equivalent of 122 is_____.

(a)3.46 (b)24 (c)144 (d)1,728

The answer is 144 (12x12)

Please help me I'm going nuts, I just can't figure it out no matter which way I work it.

it is a typo. The last 2 on both should be a square script.

Does anyone know if Mike has a place to send the incorrect information so that it can be corrected in the future?
