To find the value of the expression 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 3^5, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS) which states that we should perform the operations in the following order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Let's break down the expression step by step:
1. Start with the exponent operation: 3^5. This means we need to raise 3 to the power of 5.
3^5 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 243
2. Now, we can substitute the exponent value back into the expression:
2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 243
3. Add the remaining numbers:
2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 243 = 254
Therefore, the value of the expression 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 3^5 is 254.
