1. Problem Description

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

2. Solution Steps

We need to simplify the given expression 42474^2 \cdot 4^{-7} using the property of exponents.
When multiplying exponents with the same base, we add the exponents.
aman=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}
So, 4247=42+(7)=427=454^2 \cdot 4^{-7} = 4^{2 + (-7)} = 4^{2-7} = 4^{-5}.
Now we will analyze each of the options.
The first option is 454^{-5}. This is equivalent to our simplified expression.
The second option is 145\frac{1}{4^{-5}}. This is equal to 454^5. This is not equivalent.
The third option is 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}. Using the property aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}, we get
4348=438=45\frac{4^3}{4^8} = 4^{3-8} = 4^{-5}. This is equivalent to our simplified expression.
The fourth option is 4144^{-14}. This is not equivalent.

3. Final Answer

The equivalent expressions are 454^{-5} and 4348\frac{4^3}{4^8}.
