Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's say 4³ is a and 5⁻² is b. We know that (a/b)ⁿ = aⁿ/bⁿ for any n, so
(a/b)⁵ = a⁵/b⁵
= (4³)⁵ /(5⁻²)⁵
Next, one power rule states that (4³)⁵ = 4 ⁽³ˣ⁵⁾ = 4¹⁵ and (5⁻²)⁵ = 5 ⁽⁻²ₓ⁵⁾=5⁻¹⁰, so
(4³)⁵ /(5⁻²)⁵ = 4¹⁵ / 5⁻¹⁰
Next, anything to a negative power (e.g. x⁻ⁿ) is equal to 1 over the absolute value of the power, so x⁻ⁿ = 1/xⁿ. Applying that here, we can say that
5⁻¹⁰ = 1/5¹⁰
4¹⁵ / 5⁻¹⁰ = 4¹⁵ / (1/5¹⁰) = (4¹⁵/1) / (1/5¹⁰) = 4¹⁵ * 5¹⁰
