Answer:

First and third options are equivalent, second and fourth options are not equivalent.

Explanation:

Remember the relation:


a^n*a^m = a^(n + m)

and:


(a^n)^m = a^(n*m)

We have the expression:


7^(1/5)*49^(7/5)

We know that 49 = 7*7

Then we can write the above relation as:


7^(1/5)*49^(7/5) = 7^(1/5)*(7^2)^(7/5)

We can use the second relationship from the above ones and write this as:


7^(1/5)*(7^2)^(7/5) = 7^(1/5)*7^(2*7/5) = 7^(1/5)*7^(14/5)

Now we can use the first relationship to get:


7^(1/5)*7^(14/5) = 7^(1/5 + 14/5) = 7^(15/5) = 7^3 = 343

Then:

The first option is equivalent.

The second option is not equivalent

The third option is equivalent.

The fourth option is not equivalent.
