Final answer:

To evaluate the expression
rac{x^(6)-x}{4y} when x = -4 and y = 4, substitute the values of x and y into the expression and simplify. The correct result is
rac{65}{8}, which is not included in the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression
rac{x^(6)-x}{4y}</p><p>When x = -4 and y = 4</p><ol><li>Substitute the given values for x and y into the expression:</li></ol><ul><li>[tex]rac{(-4)^(6)-(-4)}{4(4)}

Simplify the numerator:
rac{1296+4}{16}Divide the numerator by the denominator:
rac{1300}{16}Simplify the fraction:
rac{65}{8}Confirm the result with the given options: The correct result is
rac{65}{8} which is not listed in the given options. Therefore, none of the options provided is the correct result.
