Question

Which of the following gives the value of x in the given expression?
$2^5$ = x

• A. 64
• B. 16
• C. 32
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is C 32

The given expression is $2^5$.

Here, the base is 2 and the exponent is 5.

Hence, 2 should be multiplied by itself 5 times.

$⟹$ $2^5$ = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 2

= 32

Hence, the value of x is 32.
