For -(4)^7
the - is not affected by the power of 7
For (-4)to the power of7 is the same as -4 to the power of 7
It is because 7 is an odd number,the - will not change .Therefore
(-4)^7= -(4)^7
But keep in mind that if the power is an even number , the - will change to + when the situation is (-4)
For example,(-4)^4=(4)^4
I am not good at English if there is any things that you feel confused you may ask
