-------
v^6*v^3*v^6 = v^(6+3+6) = v^15

Simplify "v" to the 6th power multiplied by "v" to the 3rd power, then "v" to the 6th power.
--------------
v%5E6%2Av%5E3%2Av%5E6+=+v%5E%286%2B3%2B6%29+=+v%5E15
Multiplying --> adding exponents.

Would the v6's cancel each other out?
No, they're added. If one was -6, then they would "cancel." 6 + (-6) = 0
