1. Problem Description

The problem asks to select all expressions that are equivalent to 42474^2 \cdot 4^7. The options given are 454^{-5}, 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}, 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}, and 4144^{-14}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the expression 42474^2 \cdot 4^7 using the rule aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}:
4247=42+7=494^2 \cdot 4^7 = 4^{2+7} = 4^9
Now, we check each option:
* 454^{-5}: This is not equal to 494^9.
* 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}: Using the rule 1an=an\frac{1}{a^{-n}} = a^n, we have 145=45\frac{1}{4^{-5}} = 4^5. This is not equal to 494^9.
* 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}: Using the rule aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we have 4348=438=45\frac{4^3}{4^8} = 4^{3-8} = 4^{-5}. This is not equal to 494^9.
* 4144^{-14}: This is not equal to 494^9.
Based on the provided options, it seems there is an error in transcription. Let's assume there are two other options: 494^9 and 149\frac{1}{4^{-9}}
Now, we check each option:
* 454^{-5}: This is not equal to 494^9.
* 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}: Using the rule 1an=an\frac{1}{a^{-n}} = a^n, we have 145=45\frac{1}{4^{-5}} = 4^5. This is not equal to 494^9.
* 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}: Using the rule aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we have 4348=438=45\frac{4^3}{4^8} = 4^{3-8} = 4^{-5}. This is not equal to 494^9.
* 4144^{-14}: This is not equal to 494^9.
* 494^9: This is equal to 494^9.
* 149\frac{1}{4^{-9}}: Using the rule 1an=an\frac{1}{a^{-n}} = a^n, we have 149=49\frac{1}{4^{-9}} = 4^9. This is equal to 494^9.
Given the provided options 454^{-5}, 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}, 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8} and 4144^{-14} none are correct. But we can notice that 145=45\frac{1}{4^{-5}} = 4^5.

3. Final Answer

None of the given options are equivalent to 4247=494^2 \cdot 4^7 = 4^9.
However, if we assume that the question asks which expression can be rewritten as the power of 4, then we can transform the expressions as follows:
45=454^{-5} = 4^{-5}
145=45\frac{1}{4^{-5}} = 4^{5}
4348=45\frac{4^{3}}{4^{8}} = 4^{-5}
414=4144^{-14} = 4^{-14}
Thus, they are all in the form of 4x4^x.
Without more context or confirmation of the options, I am unable to provide a definitive answer. Based on the options given in the question, there are no correct answers. If there was a typo in the expression given, for example, if the target expression was 4346\frac{4^3}{4^{-6}}, which would be 494^9.
Final Answer: No correct options based on the picture provided.
