  1. How would we simplify something like #str(x!2@y!3@)!4@#?
  2.  
  3. Do you remember the exponent law that begins: #str(x!a@y!b@)!c@# = #strx!?@y!?@#
  4.  
  5. The laws of exponents say that #str(x!2@y!3@)!4@# is the same as #str(x!2@)!4@(y!3@)!4@#.
  6.  
  7. Raise "#axpr01#" and other factors inside the parentheses to the power "#axpr02#" separately.
