To find the product of \( (7p^3)(-4p) \), you can multiply the coefficients and then the variables separately.
1. Multiply the coefficients: \( 7 \times -4 = -28 \)
2. Multiply the variable parts: \( p^3 \times p = p^{3+1} = p^4 \)
Now combine both results:
\[
(7p^3)(-4p) = -28p^4
\]
So, the simplified product is:
\[
\boxed{-28p^4}
\]
