When a number with an exponent is raised to an exponent, you multiply the two exponents together to get the combined exponent of the simplified version.
Let's take our exponents, 2 and 3, and multiply them.

2 x 3 = 6

Therefore we can apply the sixth power to 3a for our final answer of 3a⁶.

Hope this helped!
