Solution

The mathematical expression in the image is:

1634n÷853n×4n+116^{\frac{3}{4}n} \div 8^{\frac{5}{3}n} \times 4^{n+1}

Simplification Steps

Let's simplify this expression step by step.

  1. Express each base in terms of powers of 2:

    • 16=2416 = 2^4, so 1634n=(24)34n=23n16^{\frac{3}{4}n} = (2^4)^{\frac{3}{4}n} = 2^{3n}.
    • 8=238 = 2^3, so 853n=(23)53n=25n8^{\frac{5}{3}n} = (2^3)^{\frac{5}{3}n} = 2^{5n}.
    • 4=224 = 2^2, so 4n+1=(22)n+1=22(n+1)=22n+24^{n+1} = (2^2)^{n+1} = 2^{2(n+1)} = 2^{2n + 2}.
  2. Rewrite the expression using these powers of 2:

23n÷25n×22n+22^{3n} \div 2^{5n} \times 2^{2n+2}

  1. Apply the laws of exponents:

    • Division: 2a2b=2ab\frac{2^a}{2^b} = 2^{a-b}
    • Multiplication: 2a×2b=2a+b2^a \times 2^b = 2^{a+b}

So, we have:

23n5n×22n+2=22n×22n+22^{3n - 5n} \times 2^{2n+2} = 2^{-2n} \times 2^{2n+2}

  1. Combine the exponents:

22n+2n+2=222^{-2n + 2n + 2} = 2^{2}

  1. Final simplified expression:

22=42^2 = 4

Conclusion

The simplified result of the expression is 4.
