Is there a way to make Maple turn expressions of the form a(b+c)^d  into (a^(1/d)b + a^(1/d)c)^d? A specific example of what annoys me is results like these:

10.17594299*(-.2450501048*x+.2692858295)^2.824978580

This expression would look simpler if 10.17594299 is moved into the parentheses, like this:

(-0.5570846541*u + 0.6121809387)^2.824978580

Can Maple do this for me? I have blindly tried simplify, expand, etc, but none of them do what I want.
