See the entire simplification process below:

To simplify this expression use this rule for exponents:

$(x^color(red)(a))^color(blue)(b) = x^(color(red)(a) xx color(blue)(b))$

$(j^color(red)(5)k^color(red)(7))^color(blue)(4) = j^(color(red)(5) xx color(blue)(4))k^(color(red)(7) xx color(blue)(4)) = j^20k^28$

How do you simplify (j^5k^7)^4(j^5k^7)^4?
