[(2x^4)^3]^2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember, by a property of exponents, (a b)m =   am bm

Then, applying the exponent "3" across the terms inside the parentheses, we have

(2)3 * (x4)3   = (8)(x)12

And applying the exponent outside the bracket - (2) - to this, we have

82 * [(x)12]2 =   64x24
