Raising a number to a power means to multiply that number by itself as many times as indicated by the power, or exponent. This is the exponential value of the number which is much larger than simply multiplying the two numbers.
Absolute value can never be negative.
Compute the problem as indicated inside the absolute value symbols. The result comes out of the absolute value signs as a positive. If there is a negative in front of the absolute value sign, the result would be a negative. A negative in front of a set of parentheses changes all signs inside the parenthesis and then disappears. Complete all operations inside parentheses 2.
