Answer:

Hence final answer is 144.

Explanation:

Expression is not typed in proper format but as per given instruction "evaluate the exponent", I think it is:

$\left(-12\right)^2$

So let's simplify that:

$\left(-12\right)^2$

$=\left(-12\right)\left(-12\right)$

=+144 {Since product of two negative numbers is always positive.

=144

Hence final answer is 144.
