1. Problem Description

The problem asks to evaluate the expression (12)32(12)3(\frac{1}{2})^{3^2} \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^3.

2. Solution Steps

We need to simplify the expression (12)32(12)3(\frac{1}{2})^{3^2} \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^3.
First, we evaluate 32=93^2 = 9.
Then the expression becomes (12)9(12)3(\frac{1}{2})^9 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^3.
Using the rule aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}, we have (12)9(12)3=(12)9+3=(12)12(\frac{1}{2})^9 \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^3 = (\frac{1}{2})^{9+3} = (\frac{1}{2})^{12}.
Now we evaluate (12)12=112212=1212(\frac{1}{2})^{12} = \frac{1^{12}}{2^{12}} = \frac{1}{2^{12}}.
Since 210=10242^{10} = 1024, we have 212=21022=10244=40962^{12} = 2^{10} \cdot 2^2 = 1024 \cdot 4 = 4096.
Therefore, (12)12=14096(\frac{1}{2})^{12} = \frac{1}{4096}.
aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}

3. Final Answer

The final answer is 14096\frac{1}{4096}.
