Question 117279
<pre><font size = 5><b>
simplify

{{{(s^3)^2}}}

{{{(sss)^2}}}

{{{(sss)(sss)}}}

{{{ssssss}}}

{{{s^6}}}

A shortcut you can take is just to 
memorize that do that you multiply 
the inner exponent 3 by the outer 
exponent 2, getting the exponent 6.
Then it only takes one step to go
from {{{(s^3)^2}}} to {{{s^6}}}.
