1. The problem asks to simplify the expression $2^5 \times 2$ and leave the answer in indices form. 2. Recall the index law for multiplication with the same base: $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$. 3. Here, both terms have the base 2, so we add the exponents: $5 + 1 = 6$. 4. Therefore, $2^5 \times 2 = 2^{5+1} = 2^6$. 5. The simplified answer in indices form is $2^6$.
