Explanation of Solution

Given information:

An exponent tells how many times a number is used as a factor. A number that is expressed using an exponent is called a power. The number that is multiplied is called the base.

The expression can be simplified as;

  $\begin{array}{l}2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \text{The base 2 is a factor 5 times}\text{.}\\ 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2=2^5\end{array}$ .
