Use exponents to express the algebraic expression below in a more compact form. $- 2 \cdot 7 \cdot d \cdot z \cdot z \cdot w \cdot d \cdot z$
A) $14 \cdot z ^ { 2 } \cdot d ^ { 3 } \cdot w$
B) $- 14 \cdot z ^ { 3 } \cdot d ^ { 2 } \cdot w$
C) $- 14 \cdot z ^ { 3 } \cdot d ^ { 2 } \cdot w ^ { 2 }$
D) $- 14 \cdot z ^ { 3 } \cdot d \cdot w$

The expression can be simplified by combining like terms and using exponents to indicate repeated multiplication. The coefficient is -2*7 = -14. The variable z appears three times, so it is $z^3$. The variable d appears twice, so it is $d^2$. The variable w appears once. Therefore, the compact form is $-14 \cdot z^3 \cdot d^2 \cdot w$.
