10. (6^2)^2 = 1296
Square inside the parentheses first so 6x6 = 36 => (36)^2 or 36x36 = 1296
11. (5^2)^3 = 15625
Do the same like #10, (5^2) or 5x5 =25
(25)^3 or 25x25x25 = 1296
12. (-5q^2p)^3 = -125p^3q^6
*reorder the terms
(-5pq^2)^3
*distribute the 3
(-5)^3 or (-5 x -5 x -5) = -125
*use power rule (a^x)^y = a^xy
(q)^3 or (q^1)^3 = q^3
(q^2)^3 = q^6
= -125p^3q^6
