It was breaking up what was in the parentheses and taking the cubed root of each. Here's a simple example to show why it doesn't work:

(2 + 3)^3 = 5^3 = 125

(2^3) + (3^3) = 8 + 27 = 35

If you have any operations within parentheses, you have to do those operations first, then you raise to whatever power, otherwise, everything gest screwed up. Hope that helps.
