Answer:
1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 = 1.2762815625
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponent indicates how many times the base is a factor in the product. That is, 1.05 to the 5th power means ...
1.05⁵ = 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05
This multiplication expression is evaluated in the usual way.
= 1.1025 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05
= 1.157625 × 1.05 × 1.05
= 1.21550625 × 1.05
= 1.2762815625
