Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To write (−0.4)6( - 0.4 ) ^ { 6 }(0.4)6 as a repeated multiplication problem, we need to multiply −0.4 -0.40.4 six times. The only choice that shows six multiplications of −0.4-0.40.4 is C: (−0.4)(−0.4)(−0.4)(−0.4)(−0.4)(−0.4)( - 0.4 ) ( - 0.4 ) ( - 0.4 ) ( - 0.4 ) ( - 0.4 ) ( - 0.4 )(0.4)(0.4)(0.4)(0.4)(0.4)(0.4) .
