Simplifying and Using the Power Property
Apply the Power Property for Exponents to simplify two expressions that each involve a power raised to a power.
ⓐ : The base is and the two exponents are (inner) and (outer). Multiply the exponents using the Power Property: .
ⓑ : The base is and the two exponents are (inner) and (outer). Multiply the exponents: .
In both parts the procedure is identical: keep the base unchanged and multiply the inner exponent by the outer exponent, condensing the expression to a single power without expanding into many repeated factors.
