question 142

Multiple Choice

Raise the monomial to the indicated power. Use the properties of exponents to help with the manipulation. $$\left( - 3 a ^ { 7 } b ^ { 4 } \right) ^ { 3 }$$

• A) \(- 27 a ^ { 7 } b ^ { 12 }\)
• B) \(27 a ^ { 21 } b ^ { 12 }\)
• C) \(- 27 a ^ { 21 } b ^ { 12 }\)
• D) \(- 27 a ^ { 10 } b ^ { 7 }\)
• E) \(- 27 a ^ { 21 } b ^ { 4 }\)
