Question

$2^5=5^2$, state whether the expression is true or false?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

In exponential form, the base is the number that repeats itself and the exponent is the number that tells how many times the base repeats itself.

So, $$\begin{gathered} 2^5=5^2 \\ 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=5\times 5 \\ 32\ne 25 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the expression is false.
