Question

Simplify the following equation:

$12\times12^2=$

00:00 Simply

00:03 Any number to the power of 1 is always equal to itself

00:07 Let's substitute in our exercise

00:11 According to power laws, multiplication of powers with equal base (A)

00:14 equals the same base raised to the sum of the powers (N+M)

00:17 We will use this formula in our exercise

00:21 We'll sum the powers and raise to this power

00:25 And this is the solution to the question

$12^{1+2}$
