put 11 for p

add exponents. base stays the same

multiply exponents. base stays same
![12 * 3](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/mf1ykyyid00ne9smqs9tf8rth31gbgrjbr.png)
answer:
![{4}^(36)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/wza4l8ib04h994d8e4xj0wk771holn3kn3.png)
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:
![({2}^(2) ) ^(3 ) \\ 2 * 3 \\ {2}^(6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/m4q03r2rwj7rso3lex11r8paq45tfu1j7o.png)
still check internet to make sure if im right.
