Answer 1

Answer:

$\displaystyle 3^{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

   Using the properties of exponents, when multiplying two exponents of the same base together you can add the powers.

$\displaystyle 3^{4} *3^{8} =3^{4+8} =3^{12}$

     The expression simplifies too:

             $\displaystyle 3^{12}$
