Simplify the equation.
(b^2)(there's a tiny box here)=b8
Can someone explain how to do this, and what the tiny box is?

I assume it means you need to multiply b^2 by something. Since
b^8 = b^2 * b^6
b^6 goes into the box.
Or, it might mean that b^2 is to be raised to a power. Since 8=2*4,
(b^2)^4 = b^(2*4) = b^8
This appears to be just an exercise in working with properties of exponents.
