To answer this question, we need to take into account the rule for exponents:


x^m\cdot x^n=x^(m+n)

And


(x^m)^n=x^(m\cdot n)

Then, we have:


x^(12)\cdot(x^3)^4=x^(12)\cdot x^(3\cdot4)=x^(12)\cdot x^(12)=x^(12+12)=x^(24)

Therefore, the value for p = 24, since we have:


x^(24)=x^p\Rightarrow p=24

Then, the expanded form is:


x^(12)\cdot x^(12)=x^(24)

And the answer is:


x^(24)=x^p\Rightarrow p=24
