An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor is called a power. The number 5 is called the base, and the number 2 is called the exponent. The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.

Answer:

$5 ^{2} \times 2^{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying 5 by itself is the same thing as raising it to the second power:

$5 \times 5 = {5}^{2} = 25$

We multiply 2 by itself two seperate times. That's the same thing as raising 2 to the second power to the second power or in simpler terms raising two to the fourth power:

$2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = {({2}^{2})}^{2} = {2}^{4} = 16$

Since only multiplication is present, we can combine the two terms to get:

$5^{2} \times {2}^{4}$
