Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to simplify the expression 57×47197 \frac{5^7 \times 4^7}{19^7} .

We start by applying the property of exponents which states that for any numbers a a , bb, and c c , ac×bc=(a×b)c a^c \times b^c = (a \times b)^c . In this case, we have:

57×47=(5×4)7 5^7 \times 4^7 = (5 \times 4)^7

Thus, the original expression becomes:

(5×4)7197 \frac{(5 \times 4)^7}{19^7}

Now, using the exponent rule for powers of a fraction, (ab)c=acbc\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^c = \frac{a^c}{b^c}, this further simplifies as:

(5×419)7 \left(\frac{5 \times 4}{19}\right)^7

Therefore, when we look at the answer choices, both options:

  • (5×4)7197 \frac{(5 \times 4)^7}{19^7}
  • (5×419)7 \left(\frac{5 \times 4}{19}\right)^7

are equivalent to our simplified expression. This corresponds to choice B and choice C in the given question. Therefore, both B and C are correct.

To conclude, the correct answer is B+C are correct \text{B+C are correct} .

Answer

B+C are correct
