Certainly! Let's break down the expression step-by-step to solve it:
First, we need to evaluate what is inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ 2^2 + 1 \][/tex]
1. Calculate [tex]\( 2^2 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2^2 = 4 \][/tex]
2. Add 1 to the result:
[tex]\[ 4 + 1 = 5 \][/tex]
Next, we take the result from within the parentheses and multiply it by 5:
[tex]\[ 5 5 \][/tex]
So the final calculation is:
[tex]\[ 5 5 = 25 \][/tex]
Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]\[ 25 \][/tex]
