Answer:
[tex]2^5 > 5^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression [tex]2^5 \ 5^2[/tex], we are to complete the inequality by inserting the correct inequality signs in between the values.
Before we do that, we must know the value of each indicinal expressions.
[tex]2^5 = 2*2*2*2*2\\\\2^5 = 4*4*2\\\\2^5 = 16*2\\\\2^5 = 32[/tex]
Also,
[tex]5^{2} = 5*5\\\\5^2 = 25[/tex]
From the values gotten, we can clearly see that 32 is greater than 25. This means that 2⁵ is greater than 5². Hence the inequality sign that will complete the expression is a greater than sign (>).
The inequality will be [tex]2^5 > 5^2[/tex]
