So you’re saying there no such rule as 2(ab)²=2a²b².

That would mean 2(8*1)^2^ is 128. You are the one saying it’s not 2a^2^b^2^, because you think it’s 2^2^a^2^b^2^, and that 2(8*1)^2^ is 256. I’m not touching anything without exponents because exponents are where you are blatantly full of shit.

if it has been written as 2(ab)², not if it has been written a(b+c)²

Source: your ass. Every published example disagrees, and you just go, nuh-uh, that up-to-date Maths textbook must be wrong. You alone are correct on this accursed Earth.

Hey look, another one of the textbooks you insist I read says you’re completely wrong: “The multiplication sign is often not included between letters, e.g. 3ab means 3 * a * b.” Page 31 of the PDF… right above where you’ve dishonestly twisted the “expanding brackets” text. Next page: “3(x+y) means 3*(x+y).”

Page 129 of that PDF, exercise 5, question 14: simplify 2(e^4^)^2^. The answer on PDF page 414 is 2e^8^. Your bullshit would say 4e^8^.

Right below that, exercise 5*, question 4: 4(4^4^)^4^. The answer on PDF page 414 is 1.72x10^10^. The bullshit you’ve made up would be 1.10x10^11^. 5* questions 7, 9, 10, and 11 also have the same a(b)^c^ format as 2(8)^2^, if you somehow need further proof of how this actually works.

PDF page 134, exam practice question 10a, simplify 3(q^2^)^2^. PDF page 415 says 3q^6^. Your bullshit says 9q^6^.

Damn dude, that’s five textbooks you chose saying you’re full of shit, and zero backing you up. One more and I get a free hoagie. Your bullshit has brought us to max comment depth.
