Answer:

option (c) is correct.

Given expression
(7^(-5))^3 is equal to
((1)/(7))^(15)

Explanation:

Given expression
(7^(-5))^3

We have to choose a correct option from the given option that is equal to the given expression.

Consider the given expression
(7^(-5))^3

Using property of exponents
a^(-m)=((1)/(a) )^m , we have,


(7^(-5))^3=(((1)/(7))^5)^3

Again using property of exponents
(a^m)^n=a^(m\cdot n) , we have,


(((1)/(7))^5)^3=((1)/(7))^(5\cdot 3)=((1)/(7))^(15)

Thus, option (c) is correct.

Given expression
(7^(-5))^3 is equal to
((1)/(7))^(15)
