Flashcard 1 - Mathematics Knowledge Flashcard Set for the ASVAB

\[2^5 = 32\]

In simpler terms, the equation “\(\text{log}_2{32} = 5\)” means that the base 2 must be multiplied by itself 5 times to arrive at the argument 32, or in exponential form:

\[2^5 = 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 32\]
