1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $n^5$ for a given value of $n$. 2. The formula used is the power rule: $$n^5 = n \times n \times n \times n \times n$$ which means multiplying $n$ by itself 5 times. 3. For example, if $n=2$, then: $$2^5 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 32$$ 4. This rule applies to any integer or real number $n$. 5. So, to find $n^5$, simply multiply $n$ by itself 5 times or use a calculator for large values. Final answer: $$n^5$$
