Simplify to a single power of 2:

Question

2, squared, times, 2, to the power 5

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(2^2 \times 2^5\), we can use the property of exponents that states \(a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}\).

In this case, we have:

\[ 2^2 \times 2^5 = 2^{2+5} = 2^7 \]

Thus, the expression simplifies to:

\[ \boxed{2^7} \]
