  1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 = 1.2762815625

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponent indicates how many times the base is a factor in the product. That is, 1.05 to the 5th power means ...

  1.05⁵ = 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05

This multiplication expression is evaluated in the usual way.

  = 1.1025 × 1.05 × 1.05 × 1.05

  = 1.157625 × 1.05 × 1.05

  = 1.21550625 × 1.05

  = 1.2762815625
