Use the Power Rule of Exponents to create a simplified equivalent expression of (12⋅12⋅12) ⋅ (12⋅12⋅12)

1 answer

The expression \((12 \cdot 12 \cdot 12) \cdot (12 \cdot 12 \cdot 12)\) can be simplified using the Power Rule of Exponents.

First, we can rewrite the expression:

\[ (12 \cdot 12 \cdot 12) = 12^3 \]

So the expression becomes:

\[ (12^3) \cdot (12^3) \]

Now, using the property of exponents that states \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\), we can combine the exponents:

\[ (12^3) \cdot (12^3) = 12^{3+3} = 12^6 \]

Therefore, the simplified equivalent expression is:

\[ 12^6 \]
