use the power rule of exponents to create a simplified equivalent expression of

Question

(12*12*12)*(12*12*12)

Answer 1

Using the power rule of exponents, we can simplify the expression (12*12*12)*(12*12*12) as follows:

(12*12*12)*(12*12*12) = (12^3)*(12^3)

Now, applying the power rule of exponents, we multiply the bases and add the exponents:

(12^3)*(12^3) = 12^(3+3)

Simplifying further, we add the exponents:

12^(3+3) = 12^6

Therefore, the simplified equivalent expression is 12^6.
