Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

First,simplify the exponent in the parentheses:

4^-2 x (-1)^0 x 4^1

4^-2 x 1 x 4^1

Then simplify the rest:

4^-2 x 1 x 4^1

1/16 x 1 x 4

Then multiply from left to right:

1/16 x 1 x 4

1/16 x 4

1/4

(-1)^0:A number that is raised to the power of 0 will always be 1.
