To determine the value of the expression [tex]\(2^5\)[/tex], you need to understand that this represents 2 raised to the power of 5. This can be calculated by multiplying 2 by itself a total of 5 times.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Start with the number 2.
2. Multiply 2 by itself to get [tex]\(2 \times 2 = 4\)[/tex].
3. Take the result from step 2 and multiply it by 2 again: [tex]\(4 \times 2 = 8\)[/tex].
4. Multiply the result from step 3 by 2: [tex]\(8 \times 2 = 16\)[/tex].
5. Finally, multiply the result from step 4 by 2: [tex]\(16 \times 2 = 32\)[/tex].
Thus, [tex]\(2^5 = 32\)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{32} \][/tex]
