1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all expressions that are equivalent to 42474^2 \cdot 4^{-7}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the given expression 42474^2 \cdot 4^{-7} using the rule for multiplying exponents with the same base: aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}.
4247=42+(7)=427=454^2 \cdot 4^{-7} = 4^{2 + (-7)} = 4^{2-7} = 4^{-5}.
Now, we check each of the given options:
- 454^{-5}: This is the same as our simplified expression, so it is equivalent.
- 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}: This can be rewritten as 454^5 because 1an=an\frac{1}{a^{-n}} = a^n. This is not equivalent to 454^{-5}.
- 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}: This can be simplified using the rule for dividing exponents with the same base: aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}. So, 4348=438=45\frac{4^3}{4^8} = 4^{3-8} = 4^{-5}. This is equivalent to the given expression.
- 4144^{-14}: This is not equivalent to 454^{-5}.

3. Final Answer

The expressions that are equivalent to 42474^2 \cdot 4^{-7} are 454^{-5} and 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}.
