Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simplify the following problem
00:04 According to the laws of exponents, a fraction raised to a power (N)
00:08 equals the numerator and denominator, raised to the same power (N)
00:11 We will apply this formula to our exercise
00:14 Note that the numerator is a product, we must be careful with the parentheses
00:22 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the expression inside the parentheses that needs to be exponentiated.
  • Step 2: Apply the power of a fraction rule, (ab)n=anbn \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n} .
  • Step 3: Compute the expression based on this rule.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The initial expression provided is (5×771) \left(\frac{5 \times 7}{71}\right) . The numerator is 5×7 5 \times 7 , and the denominator is 71 71 .

Step 2: According to the power of a fraction rule, we apply the exponent 4 4 to both the numerator and the denominator:

(5×771)4=(5×7)4714 \left(\frac{5 \times 7}{71}\right)^4 = \frac{(5 \times 7)^4}{71^4} .

Step 3: Simply ensure the expression aligns with the given multiple-choice options.

The expression is, therefore, (5×7)4714 \frac{(5 \times 7)^4}{71^4} , which matches the choice:

(5×7)4714 \frac{\left(5\times7\right)^4}{71^4} (Choice 3).

Thus, the solution to the problem is correctly matched as (5×7)4714 \frac{\left(5\times7\right)^4}{71^4} .

Answer

(5×7)4714 \frac{\left(5\times7\right)^4}{71^4}
