Question

How to evaluate the expression

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

$4^{5}$ can be expressed as $2^{(2)(5)}$ = $2^{10}$

Similarly $4^{8}$ can be expressed as $2^{(2)(8)}$ = $2^{16}$

Numerator becomes:

$2^{10}$ · $-2^{9}$ = $-2^{19}$

Denominator becomes:

$2^{16}$ · $-2^{3}$ = $-2^{19}$

Since numerator = Denominator,

Answer = 1
