Explanation:
Your tool of choice here is the underbrace( )_( ) function, which has the following syntax
underbrace(whatever)_(what you want to have under whatever)
For example, you can use underbrace()_() to write something like this
- without hashtags
b^color(blue)(4) = underbrace(b * b * b * b)_(color(blue)(4))
- with hashtags
#b^color(blue)(4) = underbrace(b * b * b * b)_(color(blue)(4))#
Similarly, you can use overbrace( )^( ) to write something like this
- without hashtags
b^color(blue)(4) = overbrace(b * b * b * b)^(color(blue)(4))
- with hashtags
#b^color(blue)(4) = overbrace(b * b * b * b)^(color(blue)(4))#
Give this old answer a read for more examples and ways to stack characters.
