When there is an exponent outside a set of parenthesize we multiple all the exponents inside
the parenthesize by that exponent.

generalization statement (atbr)g = atgbrg

Another example is  (ta3b2)4 = t1x4a3x4b2x4 = t4a12b8

Notice that the t has an exponent of 1 which we do not write but must remember that it is there!  return
