Q&A: How do you make 89 using only the numbers 1,2,3, and 4?

Question by B: How do you make 89 using only the numbers 1,2,3, and 4?
I have a couple of nerdy friends. So at the bar, they told me that I can’t figure out how to make 89 using the numbers 1,2,3 and 4 only once and using any mathematical symbols. And I was like “Yes I can!” They know what it is, but they won’t tell me. They are giving me until Tuesday to figure it out, but I have a lot of business to do! Please help me, and I will give you 10 points to the FIRST person who can figure it out!

What do you think? Answer below!
