Bot GPT 3.5 To simplify this expression, we can use the power rule for exponents which states that when we multiply two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents.
So, 2^(5) * 2^(-2) can be simplified to 2^(5+(-2)) = 2^3.
Therefore, the numerical equivalent of 2^(5) * 2^(-2) is 2^3 = 8.
Thus, the correct answer is b) 8.
