Answer:

as written: (12√6)a²

Explanation:

The way you have written this, only the numbers are under the radicals:


√(18)a^2\cdot4√(3)a^2=4√(18\cdot3)a^(2+2)=4√(3^2\cdot6)a^4\\\\=\boxed{12√(6)\cdot a^4}

__

We suspect you may want to simplify ...


√(18a^2)\cdot4√(3a^2)=4√(54a^4)=4√(6(3a^2)^2)=\boxed{12√(6)\cdot a^2}

_____

We make use of the rules for combining radicals and exponents.

(√a)(√b) = √(ab)

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

√(a²) = a . . . . for a ≥ 0
