Answer 1

Answer:

correct value of x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ {( - 2)}^{4x + 2} }{ {( - 2)}^{2x} } = {( - 2)}^{12} \\ = \frac{ {( - 2)}^{4 \times 5 + 2} }{ { ( - 2)}^{2 \times 5 } } \\ = \frac{ {( - 2)}^{22} }{ { ( - 2)}^{10} } \\ = \frac{4194304}{1024} \\ = 4096 = 4096(i.e \: {( - 12)}^{12} = 4096)$
