A exponetiation has this form:
<em>a </em>is the base
<em>b</em> is the power or exponent
To understand that situation it's important to know a property about exponentiation. When we have a multiplication with the same exponent and diferent bases, the result is the multiplication of the bases with the same exponent. Let's see this above, in mathematical language:
Examples:
Now, we can say why Kenji is wrong. It's easy simplify ! We know that the result is
, but Kenji multiplied the bases and added the exponents, that's why he is wrong.
