Which applies the power of a power rule properly to simplify this expression?

Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
[7^(-8)]^(-4) =
A power raised to a power: multiply the exponents.
= 7^[(-8)*(4)]
= 7^(32)
Answer: D.
Answer:
7^32, the fourth option
Step-by-step explanation:
For the power rule, if you have a number to a power, for example [tex]x^{a}[/tex] and raise it to another power so it becomes, [tex](x^{a} )^{b}[/tex], We simplify by multiplying the powers together. So the simplified answer would be [tex]x^{(a*b)}[/tex].
