Okay so let’s say, hypothetically, I have the equation FL^3. Does it turn into F^3 times L^3, or F times L^3, or (F times L)^3. Literally no one has ever explained this to me and I’ve always just been too afraid to ask and now i’m taking engineering and I’m very confused. I’ve tried googling it but nothing has given me a straight answer. Please help.

FL^3 becomes F * L^3 .
The exponent is a little special in that it only applies to whatever it’s immediately next to. There’s always a hidden `*` when you write formulae like AB^2 , so there’s never any ambiguity.
