To solve this expression, remove the outer exponent and expand the terms.

By exponential rules, add all the powers when multiplying like terms.

The answer is:

When we expand exponents, we simply repeat the base by the exponential value.

Therefore:

When dealing with negative exponents, we write . Therefore .

When expanding exponents, we repeat the base by the exponential value.

To expand the exponent, we multiply the base by the power it is being raised to.

Raise both sides of the equation to the inverse power of to cancel the exponent on the left hand side of the equation.

Subtract from both sides:

When dealing with exponents, we convert as such: . Therefore, .

When dealing with negative exponents, we convert to fractions as such: which is the positive exponent raising base .

When an exponent is negative, we express as such:

is the positive exponent, and is the base.

.

When dealing with fractional exponents, remember this form:

is the index of the radical which is also the denominator of the fraction, represents the base of the exponent, and is the power the base is raised to. That value is the numerator of the fraction.
