Answer:


{5 }^(2)

that is an exponent

Explanation:

an exponent is a number at the top right corner of a bigger (physichally) number. Exponents can also be said "to the power". for example 5 to the second power, or power of 2. this just means that instead of multiplying 5 x2 you are multiply 5 x itself the amount of times the exponent tells tou for example 5 x 5 (since my exponent is 2) is 25. so 5 to the second power is 25. and if it said 5 to the power of rhree i would have done 5x5x5 =125
