Given

The equation is in the form


=(4^(√(400)))/(4^(√(5)))

Simplify the above equation

To proof

As given in the question the equation is written in the form


=(4^(√(400)))/(4^(√(5)))

By using the exponent property

when you divide powers with the same base you just have to subtract the exponents. i.e


(y^(a))/(y^(b)) = y^(a-b)

y is not equal to zero.

Now apply this property to the above equation


=4^(√(400)- √(5))

As


√(400) = 20

now put this in the above equation

we get


=4^(20- √(5))

Hence proved
