Hi,

first thing is to become familiar with the rules govening exponents

a%5E0+=+1

%28a%5Ep%29%5Eq+=+a%5E%28p%2Aq%29 %2810%5E1%2A3%5E%281%2F2%29%29%5E2+=+10%5E2%2A3+=+300

root%28a%2Cp%29%2Aroot%28a%2Cq%29+=+root%28a%2Cp%2Aq%29

x%5Em%2Fx%5En=x%5E%28m-n%29

%28+x%5Em+%29%28+x%5En+%29+=+x%5E%28+m+%2B+n+%29
