if you meant ^4√ to be the 4th root
(^4√4)(^4√12)
= ^4√(4*12)
=^4√48
= ^4√(16*3)
= 2^4√3

I don't know why you have the carat in front of the 4s, it serves no purpose there.
(4â4)(4â12)
since the sq rt of 4 is 2, 4â4=8
(4â12)=(4â4â3) = 8â3
8x8â3=64â3

The square root of 4 = 4^1/2.
when raising on exponent by another, multiply.
(4^1/2)^4 = 4^(1/2*4) = 4^2 = 16
The square root of 12 = 12^1/2.
when raising on exponent by another, multiply.
(12^1/2)^4 = 12^(1/2*4) = 12^2 = 144
16*144=2304

The above doesn't make sense.
