[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Terry is incorrect because the expression 2^7 does not mean multiply 2 by 7, but rather it represents the concept of exponentiation. In this case, 2^7 means multiplying 2 by itself seven times.

To evaluate 2^7 correctly, we need to multiply 2 by itself seven times:
2^7 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 128.
