What is the value of the expression 5 2 + 2 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean\[5\times2+2\times2\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because in that case doing order of operations you would multiply 5 and 2, then multiply 2 and 2, then add the two products together

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please clarify what your expression is supposed to mean. Did you mean exponentiation?

OpenStudy (tal_tal):

It is a numerical expression so yea :)

OpenStudy (mathmale):

5 2 i\[5^2, \]s ambiguous. Did you mean 5^2,

yes

OpenStudy (mathmale):

OK. Since your original expression is short, please bear with me as I ask you to type it in properly. Then we'll discuss how to evaluate it.
