To simplify the expression \( (4x^3)^2 \), we can use the properties of exponents. Specifically, we apply two properties:

1. The power of a product: \( (ab)^n = a^n b^n \)
2. The power of a power: \( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} \)

Using these properties, we have:

\[
(4x^3)^2 = 4^2 (x^3)^2
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 4^2 = 16 \)
2. \( (x^3)^2 = x^{3 \cdot 2} = x^6 \)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
(4x^3)^2 = 16x^6
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

**16x\(^6\)**

To simplify the expression \( (4x^4y^{-4})^3 (x^7y^3)^2 \), we will apply the properties of exponents step by step.

1. **Apply the power of a product property**:

For \( (4x^4y^{-4})^3 \):

\[
(4)^3 (x^4)^3 (y^{-4})^3 = 64 x^{4 \cdot 3} y^{-4 \cdot 3} = 64 x^{12} y^{-12}
\]

For \( (x^7y^3)^2 \):

\[
(x^7)^2 (y^3)^2 = x^{7 \cdot 2} y^{3 \cdot 2} = x^{14} y^6
\]

2. **Multiply the two results together**:

Now we combine \( (64 x^{12} y^{-12}) \) with \( (x^{14} y^6) \):

\[
64 x^{12} y^{-12} \cdot x^{14} y^6
\]

When multiplying, we add the exponents for like bases:

- For \( x \):
\[
x^{12 + 14} = x^{26}
\]
- For \( y \):
\[
y^{-12 + 6} = y^{-6}
\]

Thus, the expression becomes:

\[
64 x^{26} y^{-6}
\]

3. **Rewrite using positive exponents**:

We can also rewrite \( y^{-6} \) as \( \frac{1}{y^6} \):

\[
64 x^{26} \cdot \frac{1}{y^6} = \frac{64 x^{26}}{y^6}
\]

Now, evaluating the response options:

- **64x²y¹⁸**
- **x²y¹⁸64**
- **4x²y¹⁸**
- **64/x²y¹⁸**

None of the response options exactly match \( \frac{64 x^{26}}{y^6} \).

However, if we analyze it, we have \(64 x^{26} y^{-6}\) or \( \frac{64 x^{26}}{y^6}\).

To finalize, the answer that resembles our final expression the most would be:

**Start Fraction 64 x superscript 26 over y superscript 6 End Fraction (though not listed in the options given).**

If you are looking for a response among the listed options, they are all mismatched with our derived expression. If you're expected to use only the provided responses, please double-check which ones are most similar or consult your instructor.

To simplify the expression \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \) using the product rule of integer exponents, we apply the following property:

**Product Rule of Exponents**: When multiplying two expressions with the same base, the exponents add together. This property is expressed as:

\[
a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}
\]

### Step 1: Identify the base and exponents.

In this expression:
- Base: \( 12 \)
- Exponent 1: \( -5 \)
- Exponent 2: \( 7 \)

### Step 2: Apply the product rule.

Using the product rule, we can add the exponents:

\[
12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} = 12^{-5 + 7}
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the exponent.

Calculate \( -5 + 7 \):

\[
-5 + 7 = 2
\]

So we have:

\[
12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} = 12^{2}
\]

### Step 4: Find the numerical equivalent of \( 12^{2} \).

Now, calculate \( 12^{2} \):

\[
12^{2} = 144
\]

### Final Result

Thus, the numerical equivalent of \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \) is:

\[
\boxed{144}
\]

### Summary of Steps:

1. Recognized the base (12) and the exponents (-5 and 7).
2. Applied the product rule of exponents: \( a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n} \).
3. Simplified the exponent to get \( 12^{2} \).
4. Calculated \( 12^{2} = 144 \).

To solve the expression \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \), we can use the product rule of exponents, which helps us combine the two parts that have the same base.

### Step 1: Identify the base and exponents.

In our expression, the base is \( 12 \), and we have two exponents: one is \( -5 \) and the other is \( 7 \).

### Step 2: Apply the product rule.

The product rule of exponents says that when you multiply two numbers that have the same base, you can add their exponents together. This rule looks like this:

\[
a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}
\]

So, for our problem, we can rewrite it by adding the exponents:

\[
12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} = 12^{-5 + 7}
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the exponent.

Now, we just need to add the exponents \(-5\) and \(7\):

\[
-5 + 7 = 2
\]

This means we can simplify our expression to:

\[
12^{2}
\]

### Step 4: Calculate the value.

Finally, we find what \( 12^{2} \) equals. Squaring a number means multiplying it by itself:

\[
12^{2} = 12 \times 12 = 144
\]

### Conclusion

So, the final answer for \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \) is \( 144 \). We used the product rule of exponents to combine the exponents, and then we calculated to find the numerical value.

Thus, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{144}
\]

To solve the expression \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \), I’m going to use the product rule of exponents, which is a handy tool for combining numbers with the same base.

### Step 1: Identify the base and exponents.

First, I look at my expression. The base is \( 12 \), and I see two exponents: one is \( -5 \) and the other is \( 7 \).

### Step 2: Apply the product rule.

The product rule of exponents tells us that if we have the same base, we can just add the exponents. So it looks like this:

\[
a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m + n}
\]

For my expression, that means:

\[
12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} = 12^{-5 + 7}
\]

### Step 3: Simplify the exponent.

Now, I just need to do the math for the exponents:

\[
-5 + 7 = 2
\]

So now my expression is simplified to:

\[
12^{2}
\]

### Step 4: Calculate the value.

Next, I need to figure out what \( 12^{2} \) is. When you square a number, it just means you multiply it by itself:

\[
12^{2} = 12 \times 12 = 144
\]

### Conclusion

So, when I put it all together, the final answer for \( 12^{-5} \cdot 12^{7} \) is \( 144 \). I used the product rule to combine the exponents and then calculated the value.

So, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{144}
\]
