Q. Simplify. Express your answer using a single exponent.(p3)−7
Identify Rule: Identify the rule for exponents when raising a power to a power.When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents. The expression (p3)−7 means that we have p3 raised to the −7 power.
Apply Rule: Apply the exponent rule to simplify the expression.Using the rule from Step 1, we multiply the exponents 3 and −7.(p3)−7=p3×−7
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the exponents.Now we multiply 3 by −7 to get the single exponent.p(3×−7)=p−21
