Answer:

no

Explanation:

4 to the 7th power would be 4X4X4X4X4X4X4 which equals 16384

while 7 to the 4th power would be 7X7X7X7 which equals 2401

Answer: no

Explanation:

4 is smaller than 7. And 7 is greater than 4 so let's just say ur solving a division problem multiplication ect you always need to put the greater number first!

So yeah hope I helped! <3
