is incorrect.
Think of it this way.
and
So let 
and substitute:
^3\ =\ (w^2)(w^2)(w^2)\ = (w\,\cdot\,w)(w\,\cdot\,w)(w\,\cdot\,w)\ =\ w\,\cdot\,w\,\cdot\,w\,\cdot\,w\,\cdot\,w\,\cdot\,w\ =\ w^6)
Capisce?
In general,
^m\ =\ a^{n^m}\ =\ a^{nm})
whereas
One more thing:
^3)
is NOT an equation. It is necessary (but not always sufficient) for a thing to contain an equals sign (=) in order for the thing to be an equation.
