Question

Write and simplify a multiplication expression to represent 5^4

Answer 1

Explanation:

5 * 5 * 5 * 5

= 625

Answer 2

`{5}^(4) = 625`

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify the exponential expression 5⁴ by writing and simplifying a multiplication expression that represents it.

This implies that

`{5}^(4) = 5 * 5 * 5 * 5`

This simplifies to

`{5}^(4) = 25 * 2 5`

We finally obtain:

`{5}^(4) = 625`
