In order to do this we should use an example such as this:

(8^4+2a)(16^a-1)


In order to solve this, we would need to find the solution to (8^4+2a)(16^a-1)


Whenever multiplying two powers and the bases are different, we always want to make the bases the same. We cannot do anything to this equation until the bases are the same, so the equation becomes

(8^4+2a)(16^a-1)-------> (2^3)^4+2a · (2^4)^a-1


Next we multiply the exponent inside with the exponents outside of each pair of brackets and we get 2^12+6a · 2^-4+4a


We have now made the bases the same! And our solution is 2^8+10a

What does base and exponet mean?

Base and exponent are the two parts of a power. The base is the lower left, normal-sized, number. The exponent is the upper-right, small (i.e., superscript) number. For example, in: 34 3 is the base, 4 is the exponent. In the simplest case, a power specifies a repeated multiplication. The base tells you what number to multiply by itself, the exponent tells you how many times to multiply it. Thus, 34 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 (that is, multiply 3 by itself, using the number 4 times as a factor)

How do you expand a power?

To expand a power, use the distributive property and multiply the base by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent. For example, to expand (x+2)^3, multiply (x+2) by itself three times using the distributive property.
