examples
1. calculating interests on your bank account
2. radioactive decays are based on laws of exponents
3. i would say population growth, but it sort of same like bank' interest, only difference being we changed the variable from money to poplulation

power of a power rule is
when an exponent is raised to some power, you just multiply the two exponents
example: [\({X^{n}}\)]^m = [\({X^{n*m}}\)]

power of product rule is
when two or more numbers are in product form and their product is raised to some power, it is equivalent to the product of all the numbers raised to the same power and taking their product
example :  (a*b*c)^n = a^n * b^n * c^n
