Full solution

Q. Simplify. (x478)7\left(\frac{x^{4}}{7^{-8}}\right)^{-7}
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem and rewrite the expression using the properties of exponents. The problem asks us to simplify the expression (x478)7\left(\frac{x^{4}}{7^{-8}}\right)^{-7}. We can start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses using the property of exponents that states an=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^{n}}.
  2. Apply Exponent Property: Apply the exponent property to the denominator.\newlineSince 787^{-8} is in the denominator, we can rewrite it as 787^{8} in the numerator.\newline((x4)(78))7((x^{4})*(7^{8}))^{-7}
  3. Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe power of a power rule states that (am)n=amn(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m*n}. We will apply this rule to both x4x^{4} and 787^{8}.\newline(x4(7))(78(7))(x^{4*(-7)})*(7^{8*(-7)})
  4. Multiply Exponents: Multiply the exponents.\newlineNow we multiply the exponents inside the parentheses by 7-7.\newlinex(28)7(56)x^{(-28)}*7^{(-56)}
  5. Rewrite Negative Exponents: Rewrite negative exponents as fractions. Negative exponents indicate the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. So we rewrite x28x^{-28} and 7567^{-56} as fractions. 1x281756\frac{1}{x^{28}} \cdot \frac{1}{7^{56}}
  6. Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions.\newlineSince both terms are in the denominator, we can combine them into a single fraction.\newline1(x28)(756)\frac{1}{(x^{28})(7^{56})}
