Simplify. \( \left(-2 v u^{3}\right)^{5} \) Write your answer without parentheses. D.

To simplify the expression \( \left(-2 v u^{3}\right)^{5} \), we raise each factor inside the parentheses to the power of 5. This gives us: \[ (-2)^{5} \cdot v^{5} \cdot (u^{3})^{5} \] Calculating each part: \[ (-2)^{5} = -32, \quad v^{5} = v^{5}, \quad (u^{3})^{5} = u^{15} \] Putting it all together, we have: \[ -32 v^{5} u^{15} \] So the simplified expression without parentheses is: \[ \boxed{-32 v^{5} u^{15}} \]
