SUMMARY
The function 7(x^3+4x)^6(3x^2+4) simplifies to 7x^6(x^2+4)^6(3x^2+4). The confusion arises from the misunderstanding of the expression (x^3+4x)^6, which can be rewritten as [x(x^2+4)]^6, leading to the correct simplification. The final form retains the factor of 7 and incorporates the polynomial (3x^2+4) as part of the overall expression.
