ANSWER
[tex] {5}^{4} = 625[/tex]
EXPLANATION
We want to simplify the exponential expression 5⁴ by writing and simplifying a multiplication expression that represents it.
This implies that
[tex] {5}^{4} = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5[/tex]
This simplifies to
[tex]{5}^{4} = 25 \times 2 5[/tex]
We finally obtain:
[tex] {5}^{4} = 625[/tex]
