no
[tex]({4}^{11} \times {4}^{1} ) ^{3} [/tex]
put 11 for p
[tex] {}^{11 + } {}^{1} [/tex]
add exponents. base stays the same
[tex]({4}^{12} ) ^{3} [/tex]
multiply exponents. base stays same
[tex]12 \times 3[/tex]
answer:
[tex] {4}^{36} [/tex]
His answer is inncorrect becase he added the exponents 12 and 3 instead of multiplying. You multiply exponents when one is raised to another.
for example:
[tex] ({2}^{2} ) ^{3 } \\ 2 \times 3 \\ {2}^{6} [/tex]
still check internet to make sure if im right.
