Learn two exponent properties: (ab)^c = (a^c)*(b^c) and (a^b)^c = a ^ (b*c). See WHY they work and HOW to use them. In other words, multiplying two numbers, then raising the product to an exponent is the same as raising each number to that exponent and then multiplying. Raising a number to an exponent and then to another exponent equals raising the base to the product of the two exponents.
