To determine whether the equation \((4\sqrt{3})^{24}(3\sqrt{})^{6}=(4^{3})^{5}\) is true or false, we will analyze both sides step by step.

  1. Left Side: \( (4\sqrt{3})^{24}(3\sqrt{})^{6} \)

    • First, rewrite \( \sqrt{3} \) as \( 3^{1/2} \): \[ (4 \cdot 3^{1/2})^{24} \]

    • Apply the Power of a Power Property: \[ 4^{24} (3^{1/2})^{24} = 4^{24} \cdot 3^{12} \]

    • For \( (3\sqrt{})^{6} \), if we treat it as \( 3^{6} \) (assuming this was the intended form):

      • This part is straightforward since it is \( 3^{6} \).
    • Thus, the full left side simplifies to: \[ 4^{24} \cdot 3^{12} \cdot 3^{6} = 4^{24} \cdot 3^{18} \]

  2. Right Side: \( (4^{3})^{5} \)

    • Again, apply the Power of a Power Property: \[ 4^{3 \cdot 5} = 4^{15} \]
  3. Comparison of Both Sides:

    • Left Side: \( 4^{24} \cdot 3^{18} \)
    • Right Side: \( 4^{15} \)

Clearly, \( 4^{24} \cdot 3^{18} \neq 4^{15} \).

Thus, the statement is False, and the correct justification is: False. The Power of a Power Property has not been applied correctly.
