#=16 a^12b^4c^24#

Explanation:

The power of 4 means that there are four brackets multiplied by each other.

We can also indicate this by raising each factor inside the bracket to the 4th power..

#(-2)^4 (a^3)^4 (b)^4 (c^6)^4#

When raising a power to a power, multiply the indices.

#=16 a^12b^4c^24#
