Documentation of Exponent Simplification Procedures

A technical documentation specialist is updating a 'Standard Operating Procedures' manual for a manufacturing team. The manual needs to clearly outline the steps for simplifying technical formulas, such as the expression (6x4y5)2(-6x^4y^5)^2.

In an essay format, identify the specific exponent properties (by name) that must be applied to this expression and describe the correct order in which they should be used to reach a fully simplified form. Be sure to state how both the numerical coefficient and the variable exponents are handled according to these rules.
