Answer: 625
=======================================================
Explanation:
The expression [tex]5^4[/tex] is an exponential. The base 5 is multiplied a total of 4 times. The exponent up top tells us how many copies of the base to multiply.
So, [tex]5^4 = 5*5*5*5 = (5*5)*(5*5) = 25*25 = 625[/tex]
