Nadine and Calvin are simplifying the expression (StartFraction r Superscript negative 5 Baseline s Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over r Superscript 8 Baseline s Superscript negative 2 Baseline EndFraction) Superscript negative 4.

Nadine claims the first step to simplify the expression is to raise the numerator and denominator to the power of 4 to get StartFraction r Superscript negative 20 Baseline s Superscript negative 12 Baseline Over r Superscript 32 Baseline s Superscript 8 Baseline EndFraction.

Calvin claims the first step to simplify the expression is to apply the quotient of powers to get (r Superscript negative 13 Baseline s Superscript negative 1 Baseline) Superscript negative 4.

Who is correct and why?
Nadine is incorrect because she should have applied the quotient of powers rule first.
Nadine is correct because she correctly applied the power of a product rule.
Calvin is incorrect because he should have applied the power of a product rule first.
Calvin is correct because he correctly applied the quotient of powers rule
