Answer:
Equation is incorrect
Answer (If you did the math):
1000 = 4000/2^21 or 1000 = 125/65536
Step-by-step explanation #1:
1. We know that 1000 is equal to 4000 * 1/4, meaning that the parenthesis is equal to 1/4. 1/4 is 2^-2 (Look below), and since 2^-21 does not equal 2^-2, so this equation is incorrect.
In a situation where:
[tex]y^{- x}[/tex] and -x is negative ------> [tex]y^{-x} = 1/y^{x}[/tex] (And Vice Versa)
Step-by-step explanation #2 (If you did the math):
Open the parenthesis and make the 2^-21 into a fraction. This would be 1/2^21, which you would then multiply by 4000 to get 4000/2^21. You can now use a fraction calculator to calculate this value in fraction. 4000/2^21 simplifies to 125/65536.
