Question

Simplify LaTeX: \Large\frac{-4^{6} \cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}

Answer 1

⇨ The value of this simplified expression = -4096/1 or -4096.

 

• To solve this expression, just multiply the power base by how many times indicate the exponent, and then divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number.

Power or potentiation is a multiplication in equal factors, where there are terms responsible for obtaining the final result. An potency is given by $\large \sf a^{n}.$ The terms of a power are:

   

• Base
• Exponent
• equal factors
• power

       

✏️ Resolution/Answer:

$\\ \large \sf \dfrac{-4^{6} \cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

• Multiply the powers of the numbers at numerator of the fraction, with the base being multiplied by how many times to indicate the exponent.

$\\\large \sf \dfrac{-4^{6} \cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot16\cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-4\cdot4\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 4^{2}}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 4\cdot4}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 16}{4^{4}}=$

• Multiply the power at denominator of the fraction:

$\\\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 16}{4^{4}}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 16}{4\cdot4}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 16}{16}=$

• Multiply the numerator numbers together:

$\\\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot16\cdot 16}{16}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-16\cdot16\cdot 256 }{16}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{-256\cdot 256 }{16}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{- 65536 }{16}=$

• Simplify the fraction by number 16:

$\\\large \sf \dfrac{- 65536 }{16}=$

$\large \sf \dfrac{- 65536 \div16}{16\div16}=$

${\orange{\boxed{\boxed{\pink {\large \displaystyle \sf { \frac{-4096}{1} \ or \ -4096 }}}}}}$

• So this expression in its simplified form = -4096/1 or -4096.

${\orange{\boxed{\boxed{\pink {\large \displaystyle \sf { \frac{-4096}{1} \ or \ -4096 }}}}}}$
