You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, you can indicate an exponent by using the caret (^) following the variable or number, thus:
(r^4)^4
It will look even better if you use three opening curly brackets before the expression or equation and three closing curly brackets after the expression or equation:
%28r%5E4%29%5E4 Is this what you intended?
If so, then using the laws of exponenets, you would multiply the two exponents to get:
r%5E16
