Answer

$64$

Work Step by Step

We want to break down this problem a little to be able to work with it. The number $32$ can be broken down into a small base raised to a power: $2^5$. Let us rewrite this number: $(2^5)^{1.2}$ Raising a power to a power means we can multiply the two powers or exponents together: $2^{(5)(1.2)}$ Multiply to simplify: $2^{6}$ Simplify by raising the base to the specified power: $64$
