(a^k)^k is the same thing as a^(k*k) or a^(k^2).
If a^(k^2) = a^9 then k^2 = 9. Square root both sides and you get k = +/- 3. a can be any real number.
(2^k)*(2^4) is the same as 2^(k+4).
If 2^(k+4) = 2^7 then k+4 = 7. k = 3.

I kinda solved these logically, but i'll try to explain
If a^k to ^k, then you mulitply the k's, so k^2 = 9
thus k= 3, and -3
And then 2^K * 2^4 = 2^7
so divide 2^7 by 2^4 = 2^3
so 2^k = 2^3
so k = 3

let's start with equation (1)
it's of the form (x ^ a) ^ a = x ^(a times a)
so that in your case,
(a^k)^k = a ^ (k*k) = a ^ 9
or
k^2 = 9
and k = +/- 3
equation (2)
it is of the form (x ^ a) * (x ^ b) = x ^ c
remember, (x ^ a) * ( x^ b) = x ^ (a + b)
therefore a + b = c,
or in your case
k + 4 = 7 and k = 3

1. k=3 b/c (k)^2=(3)^2
2. k=3 b/c k+4=7 therefore k=3
I hope this helps!

When exponents are raised to another exponent, they are multiplied, so your first one is a^(k*k) = a^9 and k=3
When numbers with exponents are multiplied, the exponents are added. So the second is 2^(k + 4) = 2^7 and k=3

1. (a^k)^k=a^9
a^(k²) = a^9
k² = 9
k = ±3
2. (2^k)*(2^4) = 2^7
2^(k+4) = 2^7
k = 4 = 7
k = 3
