Question 5 of 6Which exponential expression is equivalent to the one below?(22• (-7))40A. 40 • (22• (-7))O B. (22) • (-7)40C. (22)40 + (-7) 40D. (22)40 . (-7)40+SUBMIT

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided expression, we are going to analize which exponential expression is equivalent, so we obtain the following:

As the property of the exponent of a multiplication says that it is equal to the product of each number raised to that power. We have this:

$\begin{gathered} \mleft(22\cdot\mleft(-7\mright)\mright)^{40} \\ =(22)^{40}\cdot(-7)^{40} \end{gathered}$

Finally we obtain that the correct answer is the option D.
