Math Problem Statement
Which expression is equivalent to – w−14(4) A.w−0
B.w−1
C.−14w(4)
D.34w(4)
Solution
The given expression is:
We need to simplify , which means multiplying 14 by 4:
So the expression becomes:
None of the given options directly match this result, but it seems there might be a mistake in the original options. Let's go over each option to check for a possible equivalent form:
A. — This is incorrect because the simplified expression is , not .
B. — This is incorrect because the simplified expression is , not .
C. — This is incorrect because it involves multiplying , which wasn't in the original expression.
D. — This is incorrect because it also involves multiplying .
Thus, none of the options seem to directly match the simplified expression . However, the correct simplification is indeed .
