Simplified Expression of 4c^2d * 3cd

The expression in the image is \(4c^2d \times 3cd\). To simplify the expression, you can multiply the numerical coefficients and add the exponents of the like variables. First, multiply the coefficients: \(4 \times 3 = 12\). Then, for the variables with exponents: - For c: \(c^2 \times c = c^{2+1} = c^3\). - For d: \(d \times d = d^{1+1} = d^2\). Now combine these together to get the simplified expression: \(12c^3d^2\).
