Question

1. how many times will the ball have dropped in times square since nye 1908? $5^2 + 2^5 + (5 \times 10) + 2^3 + 1^6$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate each term

First, calculate \(5^2 = 25\), \(2^5 = 32\), \(5\times10 = 50\), \(2^3 = 8\), \(1^6 = 1\).

Step2: Sum all the terms

Now, sum these results: \(25 + 32 + 50 + 8 + 1\).
First, \(25+32 = 57\), then \(57 + 50 = 107\), then \(107 + 8 = 115\), then \(115 + 1 = 116\).

Answer:

116
