What is an equivalent expression for −(b14)12 ?(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(- (b^{14})^{12}\), you can use the power of a power property in exponents, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this property:

\[ -(b^{14})^{12} = -b^{14 \cdot 12} = -b^{168} \]

So, the equivalent expression for \(- (b^{14})^{12}\) is

\[ -b^{168} \]
