Simplify the expression:
Simplify the expression:
Begin by distributing the exponent through the parentheses. The power rule dictates that an exponent raised to another exponent means that the two exponents are multiplied:
Any negative exponents can be converted to positive exponents in the denominator of a fraction:
The like terms can be simplified by subtracting the power of the denominator from the power of the numerator:

Combine the following terms:
Combine the following terms:
Combine the following terms:
We need to multiply three terms together. We should recognize that the t must be left alone, because it cannot be combined with the x's.
First, multiply all three coefficients
Next, combine the x's. Because we are multiplying, we will add the exponents.
Now, put it all together to get:
