How do you do parentheses with exponents?

[happysnake631]

First, simplify inside the parentheses: 23 • 22 = 25 (add the exponents). Then raise that term to the power outside the parentheses: (25)4 = 220 (multiply the exponents).

This means that you should do what is possible within parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division (from left to right), and then addition and subtraction (from left to right). If parentheses are enclosed within other parentheses, work from the inside out.

One may also ask, do you multiply exponents in parentheses? When a quantity in parentheses is raised to a power, the exponent applies to everything inside the parentheses. Simplify the expression, keeping the answer in exponential notation. Only multiply exponents when taking the power of a power, not when you are multiplying terms. Then, you add the exponents.
