${(e^{x - 1})}^{2}$

Step 1

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$e^{(x - 1) \cdot 2}$

Step 2

Apply the distributive property.

$e^{x \cdot 2 - 1 \cdot 2}$

Step 3

Move $2$ to the left of $x$ .

$e^{2 \cdot x - 1 \cdot 2}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$e^{2 x - 2}$
