It would be just 3 (or 3^131).

Explanation:

The exponent power rule states the (a^n) ^m = a^ (nm)(an)m=anm
Applying this rule to (3^(1/2))^2(312)2 will get us 3^(1/2 * 2)3122 which is 3^131 or just 1.
To verify this answer, we can actually evaluate the exponent. 3^(1/2)312 is equal to the square root of three. The square of the square root of 3 is just 3.

3^1=331=3

Explanation:

Rules of exponents says
(a^m)^n=a^(mn)(am)n=amn

Where
a=3a=3
m=1/2m=12
n=2n=2

So
(3^(1/2))^2=3^((1/2)*2)(312)2=3(12)2

(3^(1/2))^2=3^1(312)2=31

3^1=331=3
