Answer
2
Work Step by Step
We are given the expression $9\times2^{5}$.
Recall that an exponential expression consists of a factor, known as the base, and an exponent. The number of times that the base is multiplied is indicated by the value of the exponent.
Therefore, $2$ is the base of the exponent 5.
Multiplied out, $9\times2^{5}=9\times(2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2)$
