What is (-7)^5 in expanded form?

1.-7*-7*-7*-7*-7
2.-7*5
3.(-7)*7*(-7)*7*-7
4.5*5*5*5*5*5*7
IS IT D

no

x^n = x * x * x * x .......... n times

so it would be A

The correct expanded form of (-7)^5 is option 1: (-7) * (-7) * (-7) * (-7) * (-7), which means that you need to multiply -7 by itself five times.
