The Power Rule of Exponents states that when raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents.
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression:
(6^2)^4 = 6^(2*4) = 6^8
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6^8.
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression:
(6^2)^4 = 6^(2*4) = 6^8
Therefore, the simplified expression is 6^8.
Using this rule, we can simplify the expression:
(73^4)^5 = 73^(4*5) = 73^20
Therefore, the simplified expression is 73^20.
Using the Power Rule of Exponents, we can simplify further by multiplying the exponents:
(12^3)â‹…(12^3) = 12^(3+3) = 12^6.
Therefore, the simplified equivalent expression is 12^6.
(16^x)^6 = 16^18.
Now, we can use the power rule of exponents to multiply the exponents:
16^(x*6) = 16^18.
Since the bases 16 is the same and the exponents are equal, we can set the exponents equal to each other:
x*6 = 18.
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 18/6.
Simplifying the right side gives us:
x = 3.
Therefore, an exponent of 3 would make the two expressions equivalent.

This expression involves raising a power to another power, which allows us to apply the Power Rule of Exponents by multiplying the exponents together.
First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses. 6^2 means 6 raised to the power of 2, which is 6 * 6 = 36.
Now, we can rewrite the expression as 36^4.
To simplify further, you need to raise 36 to the power of 4, which means multiplying 36 by itself four times.
Calculating 36^4, we have:
36^4 = 36 * 36 * 36 * 36
Multiplying 36 by itself gives:
36 * 36 = 1296
Multiplying 1296 by 36 gives:
1296 * 36 = 46656
Multiplying 46656 by 36 gives:
46656 * 36 = 1679616
Therefore, the simplified expression is 1679616.
