What is the value of (5^4)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 625
An exponent of 4 means that 5 is multiplied by itself four times: \(5^4 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 625\). Therefore, 625 is the correct answer. 3125 is the value of \(5^5\), so it is a close but incorrect option. Exam tip: Remember \(5^2=25\); then use \(5^4=(5^2)^2=25^2=625\).
