Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question! Hope your day is going well!

This is a law of exponents problem. Since this is a multiplication problem, and a power raised to another power, we multiply the powers.

So for our problem

(-4)^(1 x 4) * p^(1 x 4)

-4^4 * p^4

256p^4

Notice that 256 is positive, this is due to the fact that four negatives multiplied is positive.

Thus this is our final answer 256p^4


Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
