I think he doesn't understand the properties of exponents.
look here for more info Exponentiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation) (look at identities and properties)

(a^m)^n=a^(m*n) looks like the identity you are most in need of for these problems.

lil: new questions should be separate from old questions. The equation you posted doesn't even imply a question and has nothing to do with the "question" that grahm posted.
