Error using exponents in a small mathematical equation

It seems I've run into a problem with a mathematical equation A=(-3.5*a)^3+(exp^7)/ln(524*a)+206^1/3 gives Error using exp Not enough input arguments.

exp^7 -> exp(7) and ln(524*a) -> log(524*a)
A = (-3.5*a)^3 + exp(7)/log(524*a) + 206^1/3 ;

Why does the equation >2.9^c(16+41*c/29)/1.7^5+11*c+nthroot(4,23*c) give Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.

You are getting the error because you have used implicit multiplication, but MATLAB interprets this as indexing. The syntax you use here is for indexing into c, not for multiplication with some other value:
2.9^c(16+...
If you want to multiply these values, then you need to specify this:
2.9^c * (16+...
