Final answer:

To evaluate the expression \(\frac{4^x}{2^x}\) for \(x=3\), substitute the value of \(x\) into the expression and simplify the numerator and denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression \(\frac{4^x}{2^x}\) for \(x=3\), we substitute the value of \(x\) into the expression:

\(\frac{4^3}{2^3}\)

Now, we can simplify the numerator and denominator: \(4^3=64\) and \(2^3=8\).

So, \(\frac{4^3}{2^3}=\frac{64}{8}=8\).
