Which of the following is an equivalent expression to the numerator of 14 to the 7 to the third power with a denominator of 25 to the negative fourth power with only positive exponents, generated by applying the Property of Negative Integer Exponents?

1 answer

To find an equivalent expression to the given scenarios using the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, we will first address each component in the expression.

We start with the expression:

\[ \frac{14^{7^3}}{25^{-4}} \]

Step 1: Simplifying the denominator with negative exponent

The denominator contains \(25^{-4}\). According to the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, we can rewrite this as:

\[ 25^{-4} = \frac{1}{25^4} \]

Thus, when we replace \(25^{-4}\) in our original fraction, we have:

\[ \frac{14^{7^3}}{25^{-4}} = 14^{7^3} \cdot 25^4 \]

Step 2: Simplifying the expression

Now the expression is:

\[ 14^{7^3} \cdot 25^4 \]

Since we need to ensure that we only use positive exponents, notice that both exponents are positive in their current forms.

Step 3: Calculating the power

Next, we need to calculate \(7^3\):

\[ 7^3 = 343 \]

Thus, we can substitute that back into our expression:

\[ 14^{343} \cdot 25^4 \]

Final Result:

The equivalent expression to the numerator \(14^{7^3}\) with the denominator \(25^{-4}\), where all exponents are positive, is:

\[ 14^{343} \cdot 25^4 \]

This is the expression in terms of positive exponents.
