$a^(4pi)$ or $a^12.56$

The key realization here is that we have an expression of the form

$(a^b)^c$ , which can be rewritten as $a^(b*c)$

We have two exponents, $4$ and $pi$ , so let's just multiply them to get the new exponent. We get:

$a^(4pi)$

Approximating using $3.14$ as $pi$ , we alternatively get

$a^(4*3.14)=a^12.56$

How do you simplify (a^pi)^4(a^pi)^4?
