Final answer:

The expression '4x4+6x(4x)^2x/6' provided by the student is ambiguous. Assuming a corrected form, one would substitute x = 3, apply exponent rules, perform multiplication, and follow the order of operations to find the value of the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has provided an expression to compute given that x = 3. However, the provided expression, '4x4+6x(4x)^2x/6', seems to have a typo or is not clearly formatted. If the aim is to evaluate the expression given x = 3, it is important to clarify the expression further. Usually, mathematical expressions have clear operations indicated between terms, such as addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (* or ×), and division (/ or ÷), along with proper use of parentheses to indicate the order of operations.

Assuming a possible correct form could be '4x^4 + 6x(4x)^2 × (x/6)', we can proceed step by step:

  1. First, we substitute x with 3.
  2. Calculate the power of x in each term, remembering that a number raised to a power should be multiplied by itself as many times as the value of the power.
  3. Multiply out any parenthetical expressions.
  4. Finally, add or multiply terms as needed to get the final result.

This procedure follows the rules of exponents and order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which is essential for correctly solving mathematical expressions.
