(p^x)^y

it's multiply so...

(px)y

so px+y

rule: x^n *x^m = x^m+n

I don't believe so.

(px)y = pxy.

Try it.
(32)3 =
(93 = 729 OR
36 = 729

The rule as written is correct but that isn't the problem. )

your right Dr.Bob..shame on me

To simplify the expression (p^x)^y, we can use the property of exponents that states (a^b)^c = a^(b * c).

Applying this property, we have:

(p^x)^y = p^(x * y)

So, the simplified expression is p^(x * y).
