Step-by-step explanation:
Work out 32 as a product of prime factors in index form
First find out the factor for 32
32 can be break into 16 times 2
16 can be break into 8 times 2
8 can be break into 4 times 2
4 can be break into 2 times 2
So, 32 can be written as
[tex]32=2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2\\32=2^5[/tex]
Answer:
The index form of the 32 is
[tex]2^5[/tex]
