which of the following is not equivalent to 1/16
1. 4 to the -3 power times 4
(1/4^3)*4 = 1/4^2 = 1/16
----------------------------------
2. 4 to the fifth power divided by 4 to the sixth power times 4
4^5/4^6 * 4 = (1/4)4 = 1
----------------------------------
3. (4 squared times 1 over 4 cubed) to the negative second power
(4^2*(1/4^3))^-2 = (1/4)^-2 = 4^2 = 16
================================================
4. 4 squared over 4 to the seventh power times 4 cubed
4^2/4^7 *4 = (1/4^5)*4 = 1/4^4 = 1/256
