Expand the Expression: 3 Raised to Power (12+10+5)

To expand the equation $3^{12+10+5}$, we will apply the rule of exponents that states: when you multiply powers with the same base, you can add the exponents. However, in this case, we are starting with a single term and want to represent it as a product of terms with the base being raised to each of the individual exponents given in the sum. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:

1. Start with the expression: $3^{12+10+5}$.

2. Recognize that the exponents are added together. According to the property of exponents (Multiplication of Powers), we can express a single power with summed exponents as a product of powers:

3. Break down the exponents: $3^{12+10+5} = 3^{12} \times 3^{10} \times 3^5$.

4. As seen from the explanation: $3^{12+10+5}$ is expanded to the product $3^{12} \times 3^{10} \times 3^5$ by expressing each part of the sum as an exponent with the base 3.

The final expanded form is therefore: $3^{12} \times 3^{10} \times 3^5$.
