Power of a power rule

Power of a power rule

It's easy once you know the trick. The power of a power rule basically says every term in the bracket should be raised to the given power. What if the term has an exponent already? You just need to multiply the exponent by the power!
Basic Concepts:Using exponents to describe numbers, Exponent rules, Order of operations with exponents,
Basic Concepts:Exponents: Product rule (ax)(ay)=a(x+y) (a^x)(a^y)=a^{(x+y)}, Exponents: Division rule axay=a(x−y){a^x \over a^y}=a^{(x-y)}, Exponents: Power rule (ax)y=a(x⋅y) (a^x)^y = a^{(x\cdot y)}, Exponents: Negative exponents,
