Identify Base and Exponents: To multiply two powers with the same base, we add the exponents according to the properties of exponents. Here, we have the base t with exponents 7 and 5, and both terms are negative, which will result in a positive product because the product of two negative numbers is positive.Calculation: (−t7)(−t5)=t7+5=t12
