2^5=32
\n" ); document.write( "2^6=64
\n" ); document.write( "2^4=16
\n" ); document.write( "2^3=8
\n" ); document.write( "and 2^2=4
\n" ); document.write( "does (2^3)^2= 2^6 or 2^5?
\n" ); document.write( "does 8^2=(2^3)^2=64?
\n" ); document.write( "so a power raised to a power is multiplied
\n" ); document.write( "so (-6k^4)^2=36k^8
\n" ); document.write( "yes, don't forget to square the -6 since it is within the parentheses
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
