You can put this solution on YOUR website! When you raise a power to a power, you must MULTIPLY exponents!
For additional, informal explanation of the Laws of Exponents, together with examples, exercises and answers, please see my own website. Do a "Bing" search for my last name "Rapalje" and look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. Click on the link "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time" near the top of my Homepage. Select "Basic Algebra", and look at the end of "Chapter 2" for the topics on "Laws of Exponents". Also, check out my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages on this topic to see solutions to a lot of these problems, IN COLOR of course!
