It is important to pay attention to the brackets when multiplying exponents. The subject of parentheses is not important in exponential expressions with a positive base. Because if the base is positive, the result will be positive regardless of the exponent.
If the base is a negative number, this time it is checked whether the force is outside or inside the brackets. If the force is outside the brackets, it affects both the number and the sign inside the parentheses. Thus, if the force is even, the result is negative if the result is an odd positive force. In cases where the force is in the brackets or there is no bracket, the force has no effect on the minus sign. The minus sign remains unchanged, so in such cases the result will always be negative.
