Hurry which exponent property would you apply first to simplify this problem (4^5 × 4^−7)^2 a power to power property b quotient property c product property d zero exponent property

The answer is:  [C]:  "Product Property".

Specifically, you would begin by using the "Product Property"; by simplifying the value in parentheses:

    (4⁵  *  4⁻⁷)  = 4⁽⁵⁺⁽⁻⁷⁾⁾ = 4⁽⁵⁻⁷⁾ = 4⁻² ;
