simplify"
this please:
^4 sqrt x^-28
Assume the problem is the 4th root of x^-28, written here like this:

remember you can always get rid of negative exponent using it's reciprocal

In order to understand this we can write it

extract the 4th root of each and we have

which is

:
But we can sum all this up in one sentence, the 4th root of the 28th power = 7
