The equivalent expression to
\(7^(-8)* 7^3\) is
\(7^(-5)\) (option C)

How to determine the equivalent expression?

To find the equivalent expression to
\(7^(-8) * 7^3\), you can apply the properties of exponents, specifically the product rule of exponents, which states that when you multiply two terms with the same base, you add their exponents.

Therefore:


\[7^(-8) * 7^3 = 7^(-8 + 3) = 7^(-5)\]

So, the equivalent expression to
\(7^(-8)* 7^3\) is
\(7^(-5)\).

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
\(7^(-5)\).
