When finding the POWER of a term with an exponent, you do what?

When raising a power to a power in an exponential expression, you find the new power by multiplying the two powers together. For example, in the following expression, x to the power of 3 is being raised to the power of 6, and so you would multiply 3 and 6 to find the new power.

Okay the answer is 69 because 81-2 is 69
