29 or 512

Explanation:

Based on the exponent product rule, which states that whenever you are multiplying exponents with the same base, you just add the exponents together and solve.

In this case 2 is the base and the numbers 4 and 5 represent the exponent: ![http://slideplayer.com/slide/5707708/](useruploads.socratic.org)

Therefore, 24×25 becomes 24+5, which is the same as 29 or 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2.

After you multiply everything together you'll obtain a value of 512.
