The expression that correctly utilizes the Power Rule of Exponents is:

(7^4)^8
can you explain
Certainly!

The Power Rule of Exponents states that when you raise a power to another power, you multiply the exponents. In other words, if you have an expression of the form (a^b)^c, the result can be simplified to a^(b*c).

In the given expression, (7^4)^8, we have a base of 7 raised to the power of 4, and that entire result is then raised to the power of 8.

To apply the Power Rule of Exponents, we can multiply the exponents 4 and 8:

7^(4*8) = 7^32

So, the expression (7^4)^8 simplifies to 7^32 using the Power Rule of Exponents.
