Does 2^5 =5^2 ? Use the drop-down menus to explain

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Question reads....}`

`\mathbf{Does\ 2^5 = 5^2?\ Use \ the\ drop-down\ menus\ to \ explain}`

`\huge\textbf{Breaking down the first equation:}`

`\mathbf{2^5}\\\\\mathbf{= 2* 2 * 2 * 2 * 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 4 * 4 * 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 16 * 2}\\\\\mathbf{= 32}`

`\huge\textbf{So, the first choice \boxed{answer} is:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{2*2*2*2*2}}\huge\checkmark`

`\huge\textbf{Answering number 2:}`

`\mathbf{Since, your\ 2\ expressed\ 5\ times, so\ your\ answer\ should\ be: }\\\\\\\huge\boxed{\textsf{Only factor is 2}}\huge\checkmark`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`\huge\textbf{Breaking down the second equation: }`

`\mathbf{5^2}\\\\\mathbf{= 5*5}\\\\\mathbf{= 25}`

`\huge\textbf{So, the third choice \boxed{answer} is:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{5*5}}\huge\checkmark`

`\huge\textbf{Answering number 4:}`

`\mathbf{Since, your\ 5\ expressed\ 2\ times, so\ your\ answer\ should\ be: }\\\\\\\huge\boxed{\textsf{Only factor is 5}}\huge\checkmark`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`\mathbf{2^5 \\eq 5^2}\\\\\\\mathbf{32 \\eq 25}`

`\large\text{Since }\rm{2^5}\large\text{ and }\rm{5^2}\large\text{ have }\large\boxed{\textbf{ no common factors }},\large\text{ they \boxed{\textbf{ are not }}}\large\text{ equal.}`

Answer 2

No. This is not true.

2x2x2x2x2 = 32

5x5 = 25

Therefore,

2^5 does NOT equal 5^2.
