Answer:
An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor is called a power. The number 5 is called the base, and the number 2 is called the exponent. The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.

The exponent indicates the number of times the base is used as a factor. So in the case of 32 it can be written as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2=25, where 2 is the “base” and 5 is the “exponent”. We read this expression as “two to the fifth power”
