IMO, the image is not helpful, as it suggests the ends of the curve are nearly parallel to each other. In fact, the ends of the curve asymptotically approach straight lines parallel to the sides of the cone. That is, there are asymptotes that form an X shape. This is a characteristic of a hyperbola.

___

A parabola is formed when the plane cuts the cone parallel to one side. That cut plane only intersects one nap of the cone. At a shallower angle yet, one gets an ellipse. Parallel to a base, one gets a circle.

Simplify (8c^4w^2)^2 show work

muminat

Exponents are not particularly mysterious. They show repeated multiplication. That is ...

... c⁴ = c·c·c·c

... w² = w·w

Then the factor inside parentheses is ...

... 8·c·c·c·c·w·w

The exponent outside parentheses tells you the number of times this is repeated as a factor:

... (8c⁴w²)² = (8·c·c·c·c·w·w)(8·c·c·c·c·w·w)

... = 8·8·c·c·c·c·c·c·c·c·w·w·w·w = 64c⁸w⁴

_____

You can take advantage of the fact that multiplication is repeated addition, so the exponents of the various factors can be found by multiplying the outside exponent by the inside exponents.

$\displaystyle\left(8c^{4}w^{2}\right)^{2}=8^{2}\cdot c^{4\cdot 2}\cdot w^{2\cdot 2}\\\\=64c^{8}w^{4}$
