Question

What's the rule for parenthesis x to the a parenthesis to the b?

Answer 1

`\Huge \left(x^a\right)^b = x^(a*b)`

This is basically saying "if you raise an exponent to another exponent, then you multiply the exponents. The product is the new exponent"

For example


`\Huge \left(x^2\right)^3 = x^(2*3) = x^6`
