Question

Use the properties of exponents to rewrite the expression: -5y²*5y²*5y²*5y²A.-(5y²)^4B. (-5y²)^4C.-5y^8D. none of these

Answer 1

We have to rewrite the expression and check if it matches any of the options given.

We can applythe properties of exponents to rewrite it as:

`\begin{gathered} -5y^2\cdot5y^2\cdot5y^2\cdot5y^2 \\ (-1)(5y^2)^4 \\ (-1)(5y^(2\cdot4)) \\ (-1)(5y^8) \\ -5y^8 \end{gathered}`

Answer: -5y^8 [Option C]
