Order of Operations:
\\ \ \
To simplify the expression follow the order of operations: (PEMDAS)
\1. Evaluate the expressions inside Brackets/Parenthesis (P).
\2. Evaluate Powers/Exponents (E).
\3. Multiply and/or Divide in order from left to right (MD).
\4. Add and/or Subtract in order from left to right (AS).
\A simple technique for remembering the order of operations is turned into phrase
\“Please Excuse My Dear Aunty Sally”

The expression is ![\"\"](\"/MathKey/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=5a96d13fb48cffe66a13c4eb2d776477.png\")
In the given expression there are no grouping symbols.
First operation is evaluating power.
