A power to a power? How do I solve that?
Ok, so here's the deal. I'm given the equation
(6^(6x))(6x).
so it's like
^^ 6x
^6x
6
if that works :P
[I put the "^^" to indicate that it was the exponent of 6's exponent.]
Anyway, so I'm supposed to read it as being equal to
6^(f(x)).
And I gotta find what f(x) is.
So, it's gotta be (6x)^(6x), right?
So then how am I supposed to simplify that?
@Cobra-etc.: Ohhhh ok! Now why didn't I think of that...lol....mental block...turns out that answer was right! I was making it WAY too complicated!! Like thinking 6^6 & ugh too crazy. lol. thank you a LOT! :D

if you have a power to a power you multiply them, so yes 6x * 6x, which equals 36x^2, just multiply the numbers and x's

It looks like you are asking for (6x)^((6x)^6x). That is 6x raised to the 6x raised to the 6x.
It is the same as (6x)^(6^6x^x) or (6x)^(46656x^x), but this is not really clear from the way the problem is stated.

was not going to do this but.....y = 6^[(6x)^(6x)]--->
thus f(x) = [ 6 x] ^ [6x] as you thought
which is also [46656 ^x] [ x^(6x)]
