Answer:

Only Annabelle is correct.

Explanation:

So we have the expression:


(4^27^5)(4^37^2)

When multiplying exponents with the same base, we can use the following property:


x^ax^b=x^(a+b)

Essentially, we add the exponents together.

So, first group them:


=(4^24^3)(7^57^2)

Use the property:


=4^(2+3)7^(5+2)

And so our answer is:


=4^57^7

So, Annabelle's answer is correct.

Navene incorrectly used the property. The property adds the exponents, it doesn't multiply them.

So, only Annabelle is correct.

And that's our answer :)

P.S. Congratulations on finishing!
