    Find the numerical value of\[{{\left( 4096 \right)}^{\frac{-1}{4}}}\].

    A)  16                               

    B)  8           

    C)  4                                

    D) \[\frac{1}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) \[{{\left( 4096 \right)}^{\frac{-1}{4}}}={{\left( {{2}^{12}} \right)}^{-1/4}}={{2}^{\left( 12\times \frac{-1}{4} \right)}}={{2}^{-3}}=\frac{1}{8}\] Mathematical ingenuity: It is worthwhile to remember a few powers of 2 and 3: e.g., \[{{2}^{2}}=4;{{........2}^{6}}={{6}^{4}}{{..........2}^{10}}=1024\] Similarly \[{{3}^{2}}=9;\] \[{{3}^{3}}=27....;{{....3}^{5}}=243,\,\,{{3}^{6}}=729\] etc.
