add 25and 17 then raise the sum to the 5th power

1 answer

First, we add 25 and 17:

\[ 25 + 17 = 42 \]

Next, we raise the sum to the 5th power:

\[ 42^5 \]

Now calculating \(42^5\):

\[ 42^5 = 42 \times 42 \times 42 \times 42 \times 42 \]

Calculating it step-by-step:

\[ 42^2 = 1764 \]

\[ 42^3 = 42 \times 1764 = 74088 \]

\[ 42^4 = 42 \times 74088 = 3111696 \]

\[ 42^5 = 42 \times 3111696 = 130691232 \]

Thus,

\[ 42^5 = 130691232 \]

The final answer is:

\[ \boxed{130691232} \]
