Question

expand: 2^5 = 2cdot2cdot2cdot2cdot2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent definition

The exponent \(a^n\) means \(n\) factors of \(a\) multiplied together. Here \(a = 2\) and \(n=5\), so \(2^5\) is \(2\) multiplied by itself \(5\) times.
\[2^5=2\times2\times2\times2\times2\]

Answer:

\(2\times2\times2\times2\times2\)
