Answer:

False

Explanation:

Exponents do involve multiplication, but the power that a number is raised to is not the number it is multiplied by. Instead, exponents are used to determine how many times that number is multiplied by itself (to a certain extent, to explain better, it will have five "2's" being multiplied in this case). So, in the case of
2^(5), 2 is multiplied by itself 5 times, like so - 2×2×2×2×2 = 32. If we were to calculate 2×5, we would get 10, and
32\\eq10 (32 is not equal to 10). Therefore,
2^(5) is not the same as 2·5, and therefore the question is false.
